About the Artist

Jenn Johnston is a ceramic artist based in Mullumbimby. Her practice is driven by a search for pure form, with her work sitting at the intersection of texture and tone, surface and shape. Jenn's work is largely left unglazed, with slip and celebrating the raw beauty of the clay body.

Long Story Short brings a new dimension to Jenn's practice. The exhibition centres on books that have shaped her throughout her life - Jenn has inscribed meaningful quotes into ceramic vessels and sculptures, so that each piece is a quiet homage to a story that has stayed with her.

The gallery will be set up as a reading room, with an armchair, a lamp and copies of each of the books alongside the ceramic works - an invitation for visitors to sit with the pieces and the words together.
