Emily is doing a talk on art & words at the exhibition opening for ‘Forming Words’, Thursday 3 March 6pm, Pan Gallery, Northcote Pottery.
Text on ceramics has a long and rich history, from ancient pictograms scratched on clay tablets to provocative works from the conceptual art movement of the 60s and 70s. Forming Words is an exhibition designed to explore and articulate ideas within this popular movement in ceramic practice.
Ceramic art has the ability to communicate without words, through touch, sight and use, making the decision to incorporate text a deliberate and potentially provocative choice. Eight Australian ceramicists exhibit works that explore how the written word furthers our appreciation of a three dimensional artwork, merging text and form to convey a cohesive idea.
Exhibiting artists: Jane Walton, Connie Lichti, Kylie Johnson, Mel Robson, Jan Downes, Ingrid Tufts, Wendy Hadfield-Smith, Sarit Cohen

Given our current exhibition theme Salt Water to Salt Contemporary: Exploring the theme of water in Indigenous Art, we believe it is especially appropriate for us to raise funds for flood relief and are donating this evocative ‘Water Dreaming’ painting by Western Desert artist Maisie Campbell Napaltjarri for a silent auction. The entire proceeds of the auction will be donated to assist those affected by floods.
Titled ‘Kapi Tjukurrpa (Water Dreaming) the 112 x 35.5 cm painting by this talented Pintupi artist depicts women’s water sites of Napaltjarri’s salt water country.
More than 35 works from around Australia have been selected to represent the significance of water – and how this is represented in art – by Australia’s Indigenous population in the latest McCulloch’s exhibition to be held at Salt Contemporary. Water, from drought to floods, is one of the key environmental issues in Australia today, and water dreaming paintings have been some of the most significant Indigenous art ever made.
This exhibition consists of contemporary works from coastal and desert regions throughout Australia that dynamically represent this theme.
Artists include Rosella Namok, Samantha Hobson, Janine McAullay Bott, Billy Missi, Debra Nakamarra, Adam Gibbs Tjapaltjarri, Morris Jackson Tjampitjinpa, Yalti Napangati, Ngoia Pollard Napaltjarri, Lorna Brown Napanangka, Candy Nakamarra, Kukula McDonald, Ormay Nangala Gallagher, Joy Nangala Brown, Djirrirra Wunungmurra, Billy Black, Johnny Pascoe, Menga Munungurr, Peter Girirrkirirr, Yalmakany Marawili, Claude Carter, Joylene Reid, Maisie Campbell, Mike Williams, Molly Tjami, Nara Tjami, Tilau Nangala and Tuppy Goodwin.
2010 proved a busy year for us with a great variety of art activities. These included the publication of the book Outersite: RMIT art in public space in partnership with RMIT; the curating/presenting of six exhibitions around Australia and accompanying lectures and talks; presentation of other lecture series including for the NGV Guides and Monash Gallery of Art: opening exhibitions including for Singapore’s newly established Australasian Art Projects; attendances at art fairs in Darwin and Cairns and the publication and popular reception of our two art diaries for 2011 – McCulloch’s Australian Art Diary and our first release McCulloch’s Contemporary Aboriginal Art Diary.
