Moondance: Ceramics and Paintings from the Collection


‘Well, it's a marvellous’ time to bring ceramics and paintings from the Collection into the light of day, in the Sinclair Gallery.* Drawing from CAM’s diverse collection of ceramics and inspired by a 1970s aesthetic―for some visitors these works will be old friends and for a new generation of makers and visitors―many will be a revelation. Amongst this Moondance of artists, Gary Bish, Colin Brown, Lindy Cresswell, Anne Geroe, Peter Laycock and Dawn Sime have lived and worked in this region.

Presenting ceramics by Gary Bish, David Bradshaw, Colin Browne, Len Castle, Joanna Constantinidis, Lindy Cresswell, Johanna De Maine, John Dermer, Phyll Dunn, Patricia Englund, Ann Geroe, Victor Greenaway, Victoria Howlett, Peter Laycock, Col Levy, Peter Rushforth, Shigeo Shiga, Mitsuo Shoji, Peter Travis and Kirk Winter. Paintings by John Brack, Russell Drysdale, Leonard French, Robert Grieve, Roger Kemp, Godfrey Miller, Clifton Pugh and Dawn Sime.
