Resistance and Resilience

Saturday 15 March – Saturday 26 April 
Joondalup Library, Joondalup 
During library opening hours 

Influenced by the natural habitats of Joondalup, Resistance and Resilience explores the ecological impact of single-use objects on the environment, objects that are embedded into our contemporary way of living.  

Using a combination of hand-building, coiling and slip-casting ceramic techniques, artist Rosemary Helmis constructs ceramics that create a tension between the natural habitats of Joondalup and the accumulation of single-use items and their impact on the environment.  

The materiality of the ceramics speaks to both the fragility of the natural environment and the textures found within it while simultaneously exploring the resilience of the environment from human impact.  

This is a Joondalup Festival event. To find out more, head to joondalupfestival.com.au
