To coincide with Women’s Day in August, UCT Irma Stern Museum is presenting an exhibition of work by 4 established women potters entitled ‘4 Women, 4 Journeys in Clay’.
The 4 potters involved all use clay very differently. Each has a clear, distinct voice which reflects their personal journeys while using a common material.
Sarah Walter’s Jade coloured porcelain takes you with her on a journey (on many levels) to Vietnam, China and North Korea.
Lisa Ringwood invites you to share her everyday life in images of nature dispersed with ‘domestic nostalgia’ alongside history and tradition. Several new forms appear in this stage of her journey.
Lynette Morris-Hale uses 18th Century Rococo as a vehicle for a journey that explores the strength of women behind the feminine mask of frills and heels. An interesting twist on history.
Catherine Brennon draws you to an inward journey to consider all that is contained within, through her sculptural Dream Boxes.
This promises to be an exceptional exhibition, celebrating the lives of women in general, and with something of interest to all those who love
ceramics.
Well known artist and academic, Wilma Cruise will be opening the exhibition at 11am on Saturday 2nd August.
One of the artists will be in attendance every day during the exhibition.
WHERE: Irma Stern Museum, Cecil Road, Rosebank 7700
WHEN: 2-23 August. Opening hours, Tue- Friday from 10am-5pm and Sat from 10am-2pm.
