Unusual Paperclay Sculptures of Graham Hay

Graham Hay - His art practise is based upon two simple things. Paper and clay. He is create and fire paperclay sculptures, and carve compressed paper sculptures. The interest in his work has resulted in a growing number of interstate and international exhibitions, as well as fuelling his appetite to learn more about how the arts and crafts, and society are organised.

His ceramic paperclay work is an attempt to illustrate this on-going interest in the organisation of the arts and crafts, and society. He has been inspired by architecture and local plants. Compressed paper sculptures are a by-product of office work, research, everyday correspondence and junk mail.

Ceramic Stories by Fleur Schell

Although Fleur Schell lives and works in Western Australia, her work is relevant no matter which corner of the globe you call home. Schell’s ceramic art is often narrative, as we see in The Excellent Adventures of Heidi and Kilbey, a series of figures and scenes that lovingly document a mother’s vision of her little girl’s every day life. Created for a children’s book she is writing, the porcelain figures will grace each page of this ceramic story book.





The characters are quaint and lovely from afar, but when you look closely at the details, you begin to understand the true charm of this work - look at the detail of ‘Medicine Chest’.
