Beskrivelse
Reciprocity, the book, is a companion to the exhibition of the same name staged at Hazelhurst Regional Gallery in June 2021.
Featuring contemporary ceramicists and painters working together collaboratively, the exhibition was designed as an open-ended conversation between these two artforms. Artists involved: Louisa Chircop, Kiata Mason, Jean McGhee, Tim Allen, Natalya Shinn, Tatiana Wans, Hayley West, Mirra Whale, Charmaine Pike, Ann Thompson and Agatha Pupaher.
To draw out this conversation the book details inspirational and process-based images from each of the creative groups as they navigated their trajectory towards the final exhibition. The ceramicists and painters worked together over a period of 6-months. Spending time together out in the natural environment, sharing residency spaces, eating together, listening to family histories, working together in each other's studios and testing new processes. During this time the artists have come to understand the fine detail of another's practice in order to genuinely create together. Each practice inspiring and constraining the other in equal measure. This book is a record in images of the creative processes these groups undertook over this period of time.
With a contextualising essay from curator Caitlin Casey and poetry from Gareth Jenkins the book provides an intimate view into the practices at play when diverse artists are inspired to make together.
