A ‘hand woven’ sculpture shaped by the heat of the kiln to bring the viewer inside the built environment. 

Petersen 'builds' the internal structure to her work by weaving a metal fabric which she then dips into ceramic slip - the sculptural distortions created within the kiln as the metal reacts to the intense heat of firing.  

Ruth uses her work to draw attention to the fragility of our constructed world and Night Time Dreams, created for Collect 2025, highlights the inadequacies and inequalities of our current housing system. 

The black crystals and gold leaf are a specific addition to her work for Collect 2025 and reflect her constant experimentation with materials to amplify her story through these beautiful and fragile sculptures. 

Peacock in Purple is created by blowing a plate of glass in our hot glass studio. Once cooled, Margaret etches, engraves and sandblasts through the different layers of colour to create a relief of her Peacock design.

This piece by Mary Ann Simmons is typical of her experimentation with the simple box form to create unique and original silver works. 

Responding to our curatorial theme for Collect 2025 -  'Black &Gold' - she developed these tall faceted 'pinstripe' forms to take advantage of the dramatic of contrast of gold accents against a black background. 

Shown here individually and in a group, Pinstripe Vessel (2) is one of a series of works that can be purchased seperately or as a triptych as shown below.   

Responding to our curatorial theme for Collect 2025 -  'Black &Gold' - Mary Ann developed these tall faceted 'pinstripe' forms to take advantage of the dramatic contrast of gold accents against a black background. 

Typical of her 'box' form designs, these multifaceted forms can be purchased individually or as a group as shown below. 

Simmons' response to our curatorial theme of ‘Black and Gold’ was to create this unusual collection of ‘pinstripe’ forms using the dramatic contrast of gold accents against a black background to accentuate the edge to each individual face. 

Simmons uses the box form to create her exceptional silver work which has evolved from cubes to an exploration of symmetric and asymmetric, multifaceted forms. 

These pinstripe vessels created for Collect are a perfect example of this exploration and can be purchased individually or separately. 

This piece showcases Wendy’s fascination with erosion and its impact on geological formations. Hand building techniques are combined with carving to exaggerate the natural forms, creating a piece that is at once contemporary and ancient, using the natural texture of clay to connect the living with the past.

The works are high fired and are suitable for any interior or exterior spaces. 

The cup and ring marks etched into the wood spark interesting discussions - could they be a form of celestial mapping? Cup and ring marks are sometimes speculated to be ways of mapping movements in the universe.
