Images of recent work

... ... Avi Amesbury uses the making process as a means to explore the multi-layered and intricate relationships between landscape, experience and memory. Her recent work has included After the fires series, 2009; Collections, 2009; and Unravel - a history, 2009; and she continues to explore the series, Dreams of Home.

Collections, 2009

Selected for the exhibition White Heat, Collections 2009, was inspired by visits to the insect collection at the CSIRO, in Canberra and responds to the notion of 'collection for research'.

Unravel - a history, 2009
Detail of installation - wall tiles and small vessels
Porcelain, decals
This series of work, Unravel - a history explores our relationship as a society with the history of Cockatoo Island. A former imperial prison, industrial school, reformatory and gaol, personal connections to the Island are almost unnoticed, or removed from our consciousness.
