Featured in Shifting Ground, Pru Morrison’s playful series elevates the mundane and ordinary elements of everyday life. In the words of the artist:

“My work illustrates a day in the life of a potter. It is biographical as it frames a day in the life of a potter sitting on a recliner, going to the toilet and watching Netflix. I’ve recycled a reference to antiquity in the style of Greek columns.

The intent is to raise the commonplace and familiar to the symbolic and monumental heights of the classic ionic column..”

The Condensery until 12 July 2026. 10am to 4pm, Wed to Sunday.

Clay, creativity, and connection come together in Earthen Form. ✨

This collaborative regional project brings together Shifting Ground artists and students from Toogoolawah State High School in a shared exploration of place.

Led by Shifting Ground curator Larissa Warren and artist Ulrica Trulson, students engaged with materiality and storytelling through ceramic practice, creating works that reflect their unique connections to the region.

The results are thoughtful, playful, and full of character and we're excited to share them with you as part of Earthen Form.🌱

Earthen Form is on display to 12 July 2026

Visit during our opening hours from 10am to 4pm, Wed to Sunday.
