About the Exhibition

Quadrant presents four distinct clay works, each showcasing a unique sensibility and technique. Eliza Au’s precise, digitally fabricated and slip-cast plates, adorned with elegant, patterned rims, invite us to explore the intricate, open motifs that reveal a sense of peaceful order and lightness. In contrast, Ginny Marsh’s deeply textured slab platters, crafted with minimal tools, recall the primal nature of the clay while confining it within a distinct quadrant. By contrasting the approaches of each artist to repetition, the exhibition highlights the range of possibilities available when working with clay.
