About the Artists

Both artists live and work on Bundjalung Country. Lorraine creates sculptural vessels in porcelain and black clay that draw on the language of textiles and the handmade. Moving between larger statement pieces and intimate works, her practice explores fragility, connection and the quiet presence held within material and form.

Victoria’s ceramic practice draws from both the natural environment and the built world. Through layered surfaces, organic textures, and colour, her work explores the intersection of sea, land, memory and belonging - reflecting the shifting landscapes and quiet traces of place that shape us.
