WHITE GOLD is Penny Byrne’s RMIT University Master of Fine Art examination exhibition. It is the culmination of two and a half years of practice-led research and features nearly 300 vintage porcelain figurines that have been donated by her social media followers in “The Great Figurine Hunt of 2022.” It is her personal response to the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Penny Byrne’s sculptural works are politically charged, highly engaging and often disarmingly humorous. Using materials such as vintage porcelain figurines and found objects, bronze and glass, her work presents an ongoing inquiry into popular culture and international politics. Her background in ceramics conservation and the law informs her practice.
