Lives & Works – Green Point (Kuring-gai)
Amelia Lynch is a dynamic ceramicist whose tactile exploration of form and surface responds to the natural environment, casting conceptual and visual links with geological phenomena such as rock erosion and stratification. Through formal experimentation with oxides, stains, crackle, crawl and crater glazes, Lynch’s painterly surfaces evoke fragments of flora and fauna. In these biomorphic and geomorphic forms, personal experiences of the landscape collide with shape, scale, and glaze technologies to create sculptures that are intuitive and free, yet refined and technical.
Lynch received a Master of Fine Art from the National Art School in 2020 and has been a finalist in the Gosford Art Prize (2020, 2019). She has been a finalist in many acclaimed prizes including the Fisher's Ghost Art Award (2024, 2023, 2022, 2021), Hornsby Art Prize (2023), Northern Beaches Environmental Art & Design Prize (2025, 2023, 2021) and the Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize (2022). In 2022, she was an invited artist at the Australian Ceramics Triennale in Alice Springs.
