emerging artist: Zoe Slee

My artworks explore the idea of costume
through the use of theatrical influences and the main medium of ceramics. I
utilise this by focusing on repetition in my ceramic forms and experimenting
with ways of enhancing the body through the use of these forms. This idea
concentrates on augmenting areas of the human body as a response to the body as
a surface and space.
It is also through this use of ceramics
in conjunction with inspiration drawn from fauna that I am able to give my
ceramics pieces an element of softness. The robustness of the clay contrasts
with the natural fragility that the forms represent. This quality is something
that is extended and explored through the scale of the forms and the way they
are arranged in mass across areas of the garments.

These
images are from a recent project
revolving around race and sexuality. I find clay to be a very physical,
sexual, and sensual material; an appropriate material through which to
talk about the human body. As a young Iranian student at Emily Carr,
most of my work is about race, this project focuses on the sexual and
physical experiences of race. There was a short sound clip accompanying
this piece which was a recording of me telling a story about being
confronted by a stranger about my American
citizenship and ability to speak two languages. I tied this story in
with poetry about the body and sexuality.

The cooperation between Museum of Applied Art in Belgrade and

once more. As organizers of 14th Ceramics Triennial,

emerging artist: Cherie Peyton

My name is Cherie Peyton and I live in Sydney, Australia.  I originally
attended evening pottery classes in the early 90s when my sons were
small – I enjoyed it so much I never stopped.  I now teach wheel
throwing and porcelain jewellery evening classes myself for our Local
Community College and love passing on my knowledge and skills to
newcomers.  The kinds of pots I enjoy making are large carved bowls, I
am intrigued by tree roots and branches which have a big influence in my
pots.  Flowers are another favourite of mine and I also love making
porcelain roses and the porcelain jewellery.
