Highlighting an innovative direction for her practice, Reid presents new hand built ceramic forms. A series of wall and vessel works, magnify subtle qualities of the Canberra landscape through repetition of pattern, form and texture. The works are a narrative of the exploration of landscape, evoking earth drilled core samples, the movement of wind across water or grass, boulders and seed pods.
Munro translates scientific representations of crystal forms through a series of needlepoint textiles. Taking visual source from 18th and 19th Century scientific illustrations the works highlight creative interpretation within the framework of science. The veneer of absolute truth in the diagrams is altered by their rendering in needlepoint and decorative additions, techniques that emphasizes the hand-made and the personal.
Al Munro is currently a candidate for PhD at the Australian National University School of Art (Textiles Workshop).
