Seto International Ceramic & Glass Art Exchange Program 2011-2012
4 January 2012 - 10 February 2012
Sally Walk, based in Melbourne, Australia, is one of four artists invited to the Seto International Ceramic and Glass Art Exchange Program 2011-2012, organised by Seto City and sponsored by the Agency for Cultural Affairs. Ms Walk will create and exhibit her works while in residence in Seto.
Ms Walk's work primarily talks about pressure, tension and isolation and she is interested in human behaviour. Currently she is exploring the idea of disguised eccentricities. She is interested in how we as a society require a certain outward appearance to ensure success. Not only success in our workplace, but also our friendship groups and family.
She has also been exploring 'Baroque' art with its exaggerated forms and pattern and uses this idea as a way of representing eccentricities in her sculpture. Baroque favours energy and movement with exaggerated decoration to create tension and strong contrasts.
At the residence, she is going to do an installation formed by fiber-optic sculptures and hold a workshop collaborating with the local community. Also a lecture and an open studio are planned for an opportunity to talk directly with the artist.
