Skin & Stone: Talitha Kennedy & Mark Young

Opening Saturday 13 June 3.30 - 5.30pm

Artists talk Saturday 27 June 3.30 – 5pm

Working with leather and clay, Talitha Kennedy and Mark Young respond to one another's forms in a dialogue of tactile surfaces and fleshy contours that speak of an intimate approach to natural wonder.

Talitha’s soft leather sculptures and intricate ink drawings animate organic forms as skin, transforming trees and their shadows into a felt experience.

Mark’s ceramic sculptures serve as a grounded echo in stoneware and porcelain, interpreting the textures of rock pools and mysterious foreshore creatures.

Though practiced in formal craft traditions, both artists push the physical energies of their materials, imbuing the works with a deeply personal resonance that makes them come alive. The exhibited objects invite wonder, revealing meticulous detail and the intuitive touch of the makers' hands.
