Fusion: Max Powell

For Glen Innes ceramicist Max Powell, fusion not only describes the ceramic process but the merging of ideas, influences and approaches. Fusion also illustrates the ceramic process of changing clay and glaze with heat.

Powell finds the natural world an endless source of inspiration and by observing the shapes, colours and surfaces is where he begins when creating paintings and ceramics. The simple act of looking and exploring reminds us to slow down and to disconnect with all the craziness of modern life.

Opening night: Friday 15 November, 6-8pm
