Stories from the life journey of one of Australia's leading artists in ceramics, beginning in a small isolated town in the Snowy Mountains. At university an unexpected inspiration leads to a PhD, followed by travel and adventure; from driving trucks, and flying gliders, to the Smithsonian in Washington, onwards to the deserts and high mountains of Pakistan and immersion in politics, archaeology, and assassination in Israel. The emotional ups and downs of teaching in art schools, insights into the practice of the art of ceramics, and the subtleties of isolated rural living complete the storytelling.
Woodfired ceramics is of growing interest in the field of visual art. In this book, Owen Rye, a respected and well-known practitioner of woodfiring, discusses his perspective on the background of the art, its technical aspects and the aesthetic possibilities that woodfired ceramics can express. It is intended to encourage the interest of artists and those who collect their work. This book illustrates the work of more than 24 ceramic artists who are scattered throughout Australia. They are passionate about their work and own and fire kilns built in a variety of styles. The project began with an exhibition of woodfired ceramics held at The Front Room Gallery in Gulgong, NSW, and will travel in Australia during 2011. The artists have provided statements of intent which appear beside their work and they explain why they are working in this genre to produce objects of beauty and meaning.
