Exhibition Text

The Hermannsburg Potters are a dedicated group of Western Arrarnta artists creating vibrant handmade ceramic pots that encompass collective and individually lived histories in their distinct Country. This exhibition includes sculptures for which the Hermannsburg potters locate, extract, and process clay from their traditional lands on Western Aranda Country to create ceramic work. The bringing of clay from Western Aranda lands to Sydney, is itself a deeply symbolic gesture, transporting ‘Country’ and all that is embedded within it – culture, custom, identity, memory, understanding – to be generously shared in a new context.
