This showcased event has concluded.
Expired
Gallery of Small Things (GOST) is hosting its first duo show for 2025 with current and new works from NSW artists Painter Nicola Mason and Ceramicist Rebecca Dowling.
Anne Masters, Director of GOST has curated a selection of current wall works from two residencies (The Squatters and Ironbark both in Central West NSW) and a special project (Conversations with Clarice Becket) which Nicola participated in.
The exhibition invites the viewer to be drawn into small wall paintings/drawings filled with observations and responses to domestic settings and light/dark patterns from windows and doors.
Whether it's little flowers on the wallpaper, potted garden plants cooling down a kitchen or the simplicity of black lines - they will captivate you with their intimacy.
Alongside Nicola's works are Rebecca Dowling’s exquisite everyday ceramic objects. Rebecca’s response to Australian Painter Clarice Beckett’s project provided her:
… with an opportunity to return to our studios and respond to an element of Beckett’s work or life and reimagine it in our own work …"
Rebecca has created new ceramic cups/saucers pourers and dishes as well as responding to Nicola's ‘Squatters’ residency where "I mostly fire with gas to achieve deep reductions with iron glazes working in a palette of tonal variations"."
