Fantastic Forms
Fantastic Forms celebrates the creative practice of Merric Boyd (1888-1959), an artist who is often referred to as Australia鈥檚 father of pottery. Featuring over 150 drawings and ceramics from the Bundanon Collection, this vibrant selection is presented in conversation with work by three contemporary artists 鈥� Nabilah Nordin鈥檚 sculptural forms, Stephen Benwell鈥檚 delicate human figures and energetic stop-motion videos by emerging Bundjalung artist Rubyrose Bancroft.
Beginning with Boyd鈥檚 idiosyncratic approach to artmaking, Fantastic Forms expands from his well-known pottery to the playful, colourful and dynamic drawing practice that he used to portray the world around him. Depicting Australian animals, plants, people and landscapes alongside handwritten notes and free-form poetry, these works on paper reveal a singular approach to spirituality, art and life.
