Kendal Murray and Naomi Hobson have been announced as finalists in the Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize 2023.
The Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize attracts some of the world’s most exciting and innovative professional and emerging sculptors with the judges for 2023, Alex Seton - sculptor and previous Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize winner; Dr Kate Harrison – Chair, Copyright Agency; and Blak Douglas - artist and Archibald Prize winner, selecting Murray and Hobson amongst this years finalists.
Murray’s miniature sculptures stage dream-like narratives that transport us to a place of wishful thinking, where we are invited to play, imagine, and fantasise about possibilities outside the reality of the everyday. Her work 'Waterway, Cut Away' was selected as a finalist in the prize.
Hobson has recently began working in ceramics with her work 'Wiimu: Red Ant' selected as a finalist. A member of a dynamic new generation of First Nations artists, Hobson has exhibited widely both within Australia and internationally since 2008.
The Woollahra Small Sculpture prize will be on display 27 September to 5 November 2023 at Redleaf Gallery.
