Video: Gailan Ngan in Conversation with Naomi Potter
In this online talk, artist Gailan Ngan spoke with Curator Naomi Potter about her creative practice, and her current exhibition From The Studio Floor.
Gailan Ngan’s work makes fated connections in a non-linear, poetic way, by crafting associations between herself, the objects she collects, and the material she uses, to larger ecological or industrial narratives. From The Studio Floor features hand-built and cast ceramic sculptures that broadly explore shape, surface treatment, and colour, as well as a collection of industry by-products, organic and processed objects, and studio experiments—an extended narrative of material that is influenced by the historically resource-rich West Coast where Ngan lives and works.
