Place of origin |
Australian artist Pippin Drysdale is known for her finely crafted porcelain vessels and forms, these typically of simple and refined shape and with great subtlety in their surface patterning. Since 2001 her work has focussed on the vivid dessert landscapes of Australia, exploring its associated colours, landforms and feeling of space. This has been addressed by Drysdale through a number of distinct series of pieces with common decoration, from which are composed specific installations that echo the landscape.
