Forecast

Horizon series by Inga Svensden, image courtesy of the artist
Blue skies are back for the afternoon....or so it seems! These beautiful Horizon vases by emerging Sydney based ceramic artist Inga Svensden have won many hearts since they came into Collect.

The vases are hand built and appear to be a wrapped sheet, so the beautifully proportioned bands of colour are visable from the inside as well as the exterior. "The aspects of my work that are most important to me are the honesty of the decoration, the colours and proportions I use to create rhythms and the emotional response the work provokes in others." Quoted from an interesting article by Sumi Skellam for Australian Ceramics

These gorgeous pieces in ultramarine, are sure to enhance any collection. For prices and more information head to our online store

Annual Manual-Showing until 19th June

Well it sure is a woolly winter Tuesday here at Object! It's been chilly of late, but we are cosy up in the gallery with the aid of our trusty heaters and so there is definitely no excuse for not visiting us especially with Annual Manual: A Guide to Australian Design Now in its final weeks! This exhibition curated by Office for Good Design is a significant award show of Australian emerging talent. 8 outstanding finalists have been judged by a panel and the winners have been awarded the opportunity to have a solo exhibition in Object's Project Space in 2012. Apart from the 8 finalists, there are also 10 more names to watch playing on the gallery AV. You will have to come in and see the winning pieces for yourself but for now, here are some pictures that show the breadth of design in this show.
