UP NEXT FOR CLAY - CHRYSTIE LONGWORTH For a previ

UP NEXT FOR CLAY - CHRYSTIE LONGWORTH
For a preview catalogue email clay@michaelreid.com.au. @michaelreidclay
Originally trained at Sydney College of the Arts as a printmaker, Chrystie has been somewhat obsessed with clay for the last 13 years, revelling in the medium and its endless possibilities.
All of her works are made in her studio between high cliffs and the sea where verdant flora and fauna are a daily inspiration, and functional and decorative ceramic pieces fit seamlessly into a slower, more considered pace of life.
Chrystie was a Finalist in the Little Things Art Prize 2018.

Still time to snap up some beautiful works by Amy

Still time to snap up some beautiful works by Amy Clarke and Nicole Chaffey. Click on the link in bio to view online.
We asked Amy a little about her work. What particular techniques do you employ in your practice?
...
“Sometimes flat but mostly on an easel. I like working on stretched canvas and ply. I work quickly and flit between paintings letting the paint dry so I can come back for the next layer. When I am on a roll, I will paint all day. I don’t paint at night as a rule.
The morning is usually pretty good, but some days can be a hard slog and it can take hours (or days!) before I work through the rubbish to a good zone. As soon as I start overthinking things the painting becomes over worked and self conscious, but I have learned over the years to be more trusting of my mark making. If I am stuck, I go back to small, quick works on paper. I love working on paper. I find it easy to make immediate, spontaneous marks on this medium. For some reason it’s less intimidating than a big canvas or board.” @amyclarkeartist

“When I paint, I draw from a combination of memory, feeling and looking at things inside or out of my studio. Sometimes I will refer to a photo to provide compositional guidance. There is also intuitive mark making and its push and pull until it works.
I collect bones, rocks, vines, birds’ nests and odd pieces of metal. It’s usually the shape/form I am drawn to or a line. I also have a collection of coloured sands in bottles – deep ochre red, orange, black and white. I am constantly amazed by what nature creates.” @amyclarkeartist

In the studio with Amy Clarke. Behind the scenes insights give you an understanding of the artist’s process and their inspiration in turn this increases your knowledge as a collector. Amy Clarke recently answered some of our questions about how she approaches her work.

What compelled you to paint abstract in particular? What do you love about it?
——————————
“I have always been drawn to abstract art. I grew up with it. My grandmother painted landscapes influenced by artists such as Fred Williams and the American abstract expressionists so I would say she was my first influence. I also love Aboriginal art and their way of seeing things.
It allows me to express something that can be hard to put into words at times. I see the landscape in abstract… not in a linear looking at the horizon way but often more aerial.”

Abstract art has long polarised viewers–as it often raises more questions than it answers. It does not attempt to portray reality, nor will it explicitly tell you what it is. It can intimidate, as one does not know for sure one understands. It relies on the perceptions of both the artist and the viewer. The eye and the mind complete the loop of understanding of the work, based on one’s own perceptions and experiences.

“My earliest connection with the natural world was through childhood play. Growing up in the bush in the 1970s did not involve toys. The only toys I recall were a Tonka truck (which I loved!), some Lego and a neglected Barbie doll. I felt in no way deprived. We filled our days playing in the dirt. My paintings are tapping into those feelings and memories. In recent years my work has become increasingly abstract, but to me the landscape is still there. It is my belief that the directness of this simple childhood and our daily engagement with nature laid the foundations of me being an artist. We were always making. To me painting is part play.”

“Nicole Chaffey interprets the tones of the Australian landscape in acknowledgment of an ancient connection to Country. Stories that have been inherited from her Biripai grandfather coalesce with lived experience in intimate and intuitive abstractions. Chaffey has developed a visual language which incorporates personal symbols representing family, history and memory, hinting at the presence of a rich tapestry of intergenerational storytelling and personal reflection. She seeks out a place where the old histories can be acknowledged, and the inheritance of an essential and dependent relationship with her culture can be honoured.”

By its nature, Abstract art is highly gestural, and imbued with energy – using flourishes, shapes, colour, and marks to achieve its effect–often a feeling, an emotion, or a mood.
Appetite for Abstraction explores the work of 2 artists, Amy Clarke and Nicole Chaffey, who do this especially well.

Lauren Joffe’s work is primarily concerned with exploring the aesthetics of the vessel form and she has a particular interest in the surfaces of her pieces. She makes both individual and related groups of vessels, each informing the next. She is interested in the Japanese aesthetic tradition and concept of beauty, specifically in the celebration of the natural and its defects.
