About the exhibition
“Gather" is an enchanting exhibition of both pottery and works on paper that celebrate the essence of family, love, and shared moments. This colourful and eclectic collection features meticulously crafted ceramics and a range of prints and collages that reflects the warmth of togetherness; the spirit of familial bonds and the simple pleasures of shared experiences that transform everyday moments into art. These vessels, forms, and images have been created as expressions of connection, nurturing relationships, and the beauty of gathering together. Join us in experiencing how contemporary, colourful ceramics and the decorative medium of paper collage can embody the heart of togetherness.
About the artists
Joan Harris | Instagram
Joan Harris is a Bendigo based artist from Central Victoria. Her collages are made using hand painted paper and fragments of fabric and magazines. Works are mostly created as a response to photographs of her friends and family in various settings and situations. She states: "I am particularly interested in depicting the human figure where symbolic possibilities and narrative become part of the work. That is, other levels of meaning may be underlying the seemingly mundane subject, and these narratives, of course, vary according to the viewer. The images also reflect my love of the decorative; colour, texture and pattern. I find the medium of collage is well suited to the intimate scale and subject matter of my imagery."

Bonk pottery is a collection of hand-crafted ceramics by local ceramicist and ceramic illustrator, Kelly Bonk. Kelly blurs the line between decorative and functional by creating mood-boosting, colourful ceramic items that inject character and personality into your homes. Kelly explores all practices of ceramics and loves to challenge herself to learn new methods and to constantly evolve. She is a self-confessed “dabbler” and this thirst for artistic research is reflected in the variety of pieces she creates. With a focus on luxurious eclecticism, bold, vibrant colours and whimsical patterns, each piece of bonk pottery is designed to bring art into the everyday.
