Surfacing: Exhibition by Moraig McKenna

“Surfacing,” by Gundaroo-based artist Moraig McKenna, explores the narrative of surface and substance through textured ceramic works. Each mark and scar etched into the surface of McKenna’s works tells the story of the object. Layered with slip, glaze, salt, and ash, the pieces in this exhibition map her experiences of working with clay, its materiality, and the enduring influence of the ceramic traditions which inform her practice. With the unmistakable mark of McKenna’s hand evident in the works, “Surfacing” invites viewers to explore the interplay of materiality and meaning.
