Holding Space Between Chaos and Coherence

Resonant Fields brings together paintings and ceramics that explore the continual search for coherence. Using simple geometric forms as a visual language, the work investigates the relationship between coherence and instability, asking how structures emerge, hold tension and remain open to change.

Made with clay gathered from the Central Goldfields and incorporating gold throughout the work, the exhibition is rooted in a landscape shaped by both radiance and rupture: the prosperity of the gold rush, and the environmental and cultural consequences it left behind. The work draws on this history as both a material and symbolic presence.

While many pieces begin with archetypal geometric forms, they have gradually evolved into a personal geometry shaped as much by the response of the material as by intention. The work embraces the consequences of making. Firing, reduction and, in some cases, raku become active collaborators. Cracks, ruptures and unexpected surfaces are not corrected but carried forward, allowing disruption itself to participate in the search for coherence.
