Renowned North Arm Cove potter, Jenny Bickley, is exhibiting some of her work, and work of her colleague Christine Coates, at their "Inspired, Formed, and Fired - a journey of 2 potters" exhibition, commencing on Saturday 19th April at the Back to Back Galleries at 57 Bull Street, Cooks Hill.
When asked about the exhibition, Jenny said "Learning how emotion plays a huge part in the creation of art has been a motivation for this exhibition.
The idea that people can experience inner peace and rest through emotional harmony, securing your joy, despite chaotic circumstances and negative emotions which may surround them, is my inspiration.
Communicating this through my art has been a joyous journey using colour, texture and form. I have explored techniques such as wheel throwing, hand building, weaving, eco-dying, sgraffito and carving using a variety of materials and combining them in ways that for me express curiosity, wonder, joy, love and sadness in ways that words often cannot."
Jenny does her fabulous pottery at her bushland studio in Cove Boulevarde, North Arm Cove.
