LAND(E)SCAPE
12 - 23 March 2025
G3
Opening Night
Friday 14 March | 6 - 8 pm
◼︎
Land(e)scape showcases a unique collaboration between a photographer and a ceramic artist, bringing together two distinct yet deeply connected ways of experiencing the land. While the aerial images reveal the graphic grandeur of the land, the ceramic vessels interpret these details in intimate, tactile forms, exploring the realms of imagination and expression. Together, they evoke a sense of connection to place and the meditative stillness of losing oneself in nature’s vastness.
The exhibition invites one to explore the interplay between nature’s unfiltered beauty and the human trait of introspection and release. Featuring abstract aerial photography around Lake Eyre alongside delicate porcelain vessel forms inspired by these images, the exhibition captures the ethereal patterns, textures, and hues of this unique landscape.
At its heart, Land(e)scape celebrates the beauty of transformation and the ever-evolving relationship between the landscapes we see and the inner journeys they inspire. Its an invitation to pause, reflect, and discover meaning in the subtle balance between what is seen and what is felt.
Artist Bio
Riti Malik
Riti Malik, a Sydney-based ceramic artist, previously worked as a graphic designer in India from 2002 - 2015. Upon relocating to Australia in 2016, Riti sought a fresh artistic endeavor, leading her to enrol in the Diploma and Advance Diploma of Visual Arts (Ceramics). Riti embraces the tactile nature of clay to craft her art and is particularly drawn to porcelain, captivated by its dichotomy as a delicate yet strong and challenging material. In her many pursuits to exploring this material to bring her vision of creating delicate ceramic works to life, she worked out an innovative process of construction which allowed her to achieve this, while incorporating surface texture within the form itself. Riti's art has been showcased in numerous group exhibitions in Sydney and can be found in both private and corporate collections. She was awarded Winner in the Ceramics category of Little Things Art Prize (2021) + Winner of the viewer’s choice award for Shelly Simpson Art Prize (2021), and was more recently a finalist in the Gosford Art Prize (2024).
