Master of Visual Arts (Research)
Ceramics
Sarah Ormonde studied painting at Curtin University, Western Australia after which she painted and taught throughout Australia for many years.
Discovering that ceramics fitted he well, her first involvement with the ANU School of Art Ceramics Workshop was as a student of the then Distance Diploma from where she progressed to Graduate Certificate and Masters level study. She has lived her adult life in remote mining communities and these landscapes and this way of life have informed her final artworks with manipulated form, altered slips and drawing providing the link.
By moving through the landscape we leave a trace, and find a trail. The landscapes rich surface becomes a record of growth and history of its inhabitants. My bowls look at the marks that we leave on the landscape and explore where they can lead us.
