The Indigenous Ceramic Award is a celebration of enduring connections, ongoing interpretations of the unique and diverse expressions of First Peoples' identities through clay.
I am happy to announce that my artwork Galibaay on Country has won the South-East Australian Aboriginal Artist Prize, in the Indigenous Ceramic Award, held at the Shepparton Art Museum.
Congratulations to the Major Acquisitive Prize winner Anne Nginyangka Thompson for her 2022 work Strong Family Connection.
A big thank you to SAM, along with 2022 ICA judges Kimberley Moulton, Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran and Penny Evans.
