Tactile Divulgence
“Once upon a time there was a girl who had bipolar. Sometimes she would hide away from the regular world. She stopped talking to her friends and family until eventually, she was all alone. In this world she made pots. She would cry into the pots, whispering secrets as she made them. The pots turned into a physical and mental landscape. Scribbling onto the formed clay landscapes she would create her own narratives and a new world caught shadow and light. Non verbal gestures encompassing her space, keeping her company. Until one day, sitting in her studio surrounded by pots she thought, I wonder if my friends would like these…”
Georgie Vozar is a nipaluna based ceramic artist who works predominantly with communities. Not one for words, Georgie has relied on creative, non-verbal methods of expression since she was spat out of school and into the world at 15. Georgie’s collaborative working method, focusing on materials and tactility, aims to celebrate the marks people make in this world. She starts her projects and workshops from a place of curiosity - asking open questions and finding points of tension. This process invites participants to locate, examine and manipulate the literal and metaphorical walls they build and take down with care… The spontaneity and explorative nature of playtime can end up in the most unlikely of places. This is the work Georgie undertakes; it is collaboration and conversation.

Peril
Is a solo exhibition by emerging artist Helen Spencer. Sourcing material largely from American National Geographics magazines from the 1950s and 60s, Peril starkly highlights the resurgence of mid-century values of power and dominance entrenched in normativism, the patriarchy, colonialism, and conflict. The unsettling imagery in Peril urges for the persistent confrontation of the forces that threaten fairness and justice.
Video screen

CubbyGïrl is the culmination of childhood joy and grief expressed through movement and sound. These artists are united in a desire to smooth the edges of radical honesty into jitters of sound, whispers of fabric against the camera lens, and lost childhood rage re-parcelled/made edible/sticky with memories. Forged together from disciplines of music, theatre, and giggles.
