Australian Design Centre is delighted to present TILED in collaboration with kil.n.it Experimental Ceramics Studio.

Valued for the enduring properties of their clays and glazes, ceramic tiles are one of the oldest universal forms of decorative art. Today, tiles are used extensively in contemporary architecture and interiors.

The 17 studio artists use the tile as a canvas for exploration and experimentation. Each artist has brought their own style and technique to create a diverse response in TILED.

Some artists have focused on traditional flat tiles, using intricate designs and patterns to create visually stunning pieces. Others have taken a more organic approach, creating tiles that resemble slabs of clay or sculptural reliefs. This variety showcases the versatility of ceramics as an art form and a form of interior decoration.

The inclusion of the 'test tile' in this exhibition is a nod to the artistic process of ceramic artists. These small, often discarded, pieces represent the journey of discovery and experimentation that is essential to the creation of ceramic art. They demonstrate the artist's commitment to constantly pushing the boundaries of their materials and techniques.

Ebony Russell and Alexandra Standen are resident artists at Sydney's Kil.n.it Experimental Ceramic Studio.

As neighbours and friends, they have been pursuing an opportunity to work on a collaborative project since early 2020. Australian Design Centre’s Object Space exhibition provided them with a perfect situation to develop and present their burgeoning ideas – to combine elements of art and design in a ceramics project that sits outside of their respective art practices.

Initially responding to their shared love of vintage Australian lustreware, this collaborative project focuses on a series of ceramic sconces and lamps, incorporating differing effects of light and shadow throughout the day and night.

“Working closely at Kil.n.it for the last few years, we have supported each other professionally and personally. We have come to appreciate each other's individual art practices and each other's distinct approach to working with clay", said Ebony and Alexandra.

"Many hours spent in the studio often leads to conversations discussing art, craft and design and how to cultivate and continue a successful art practice. We wanted to capture the importance of these conversations and the significant impact they have on our development and growth as artists".

"By working together three hours each week in the Kil.n.it Members Workshop, outside of our own studio spaces, allowed us to create in a neutral space. This framework led to open ended outcomes and true collaborative processes".

"We both made moulds based around organic shell-like forms. When the clay was pressed, we each selected different components to make our works – creating truly unique works, and a new artistic language for us to share”.

Birthday cakes with ballerinas and cupcakes decorated with intricate swirls of icing make me happy. These delicate and impermanent confectionary delights are recreated in porcelain to last forever.
