Kate Dorrough announced as finalist in the Wollongong Art Prize

Kate Dorrough has been announced as a finalist in the Wollongong Art Prize. Congratulations Kate!

 

The practice of Kate Dorrough sustains a conversation between paint and clay, launching an inquiry into the interplay and tension between the gestural mark and the hand built ceramic form. The artist’s recent work explores landscape as metaphor, with its inland river systems a vital source of survival and bestowal of fertility. Dorrough considers the cyclicality of renewal and destruction that defines the land, her painterly gestural marks evoking totemic symbols of this enduring landscape.

The Wollongong Art Prize will be on display from 5 December - 1 March 2026 at Wollongong Art Gallery.
