This is the third week of a solo exhibition for me. Rain has returned on the day the Climate Change Review Report was released. I've heard that the best number to aim for is 400ppm CO2 to avoid a 2C rise in temperature. The target number recommended by the Garnaut Report was 450 ppm, which gives a 50-50 chance of avoiding 2C temperature rise.
Why make ceramics in the Greenhouse Age?
This morning, I was treated to an aerial show by a flock of about 20 Gang-gang cockatoos, wheeling and calling around the Eucalypts surrounding house and studio. Captivating. Nothing at all that ceramic can capture nor replicate, in any form or surface. Ineffable.
