'In your engagement and appreciation of the work of this exhibition you will experience a classical constraint that pulls against the disorderly tendencies of processes that are not fully controllable. You will find principles of design applied in a way that sets up a tension between desired order and the unruliness of clay, glaze and fire. Constructed detail, upon constructed form - with rebellious materials. And it is within this balanced but dramatic tension we find a Mozartian beauty. Of satisfying harmonies within structure. Everything satisfyingly complete. A fulfilling unity.' From Bela Kotai's opening address (click here to read the full speech)

Mundaring Hills Open Studios



Sat. 30 & Sun. 31 October - 10 am to 5 pm both days

Nine artists from the Shire of Mundaring have banded together to open up their studios to visitors on the last weekend in October. The Hills area east of Perth has long been known as a place where artists and craftspeople choose to live as the semi rural nature of the area provides space and inspiration for their art practice. The public will be able to talk to the artists and see how they go about making their art and buy direct if they wish. A Mundaring Hills Open Studios map is available for you here and gives clear directions on how to get to the studios where entry is free. The artists and craftspeople involved are Brian Aylward, Madeleine Clear, Greg Crowe, Inta Goddard, Christine Hingston, Jeremy Holton, Judy Kotai, Graeme Pages-Oliver and Joel Smoker. More information can be found here where you will find links to a number of the artists' web sites. Their work can be viewed and purchased at the Mundaring Arts Centre, located in the old post office building in the centre of Mundaring, 7190 Gt Eastern Highway (www.mundaringartscentre.com). The artists' studio map is also accessible on Google. October is a great time to visit the hills as the wildflowers are in full bloom and the weather's fine. Put a drive visit to the artist studios of Mundaring in your diary now. The artists would love to meet you and share their work.
