Anita McIntyre | Survey 1970 TO 2022
Woolshed Gallery | 18 June - 17 July 2022
‘For 50 years my ceramic practice has been inspired by the Australian landscape, extensive travel ,family history and a love of clay. It has been expressed in several series of work: working with porcelain, stoneware, coloured clay, printing, reverse transfer, decals and slip casting. My exploration continues to find new inspiration.’
‘Anita McIntyre. Survey 1970 to 2022 examines Anita McIntyre’s remarkable career in ceramics from student works of the 1970s to recent explorations produced immediately prior to the present exhibition. McIntyre’s art is an expression of her experiences of her world and her reflections and memories of those experiences. For her the world encompasses family, history and especially place. Her life journey in both a physical and metaphorical sense is captured in her art. The many works in the exhibition open viewers to not only vicariously enjoy McIntyre’s journeys but also to imaginatively create their own. Her actual journeys have seen her in Asia. Europe. North America and particularly and regularly in Australia’s outback and remote northern coastlines. This topographical variety is beautifully exemplified in the formal and decorative diversity that populates the exhibition, an aesthetic diversity that reflects the exploring and inquiring imagination that creates it.
Anita McIntyre is not only an important ceramic artist she has been an active participant in a number of iterations in the ACT’s wider visual arts landscape for many years. Strathnairn Arts is honoured to celebrate the career of this significant local artist not just because of the calibre of her beautiful art but to acknowledge her strong connection with this place as President of our Board over a number of years and as ongoing supporter and advocate of Strathnairn Arts’ programs and activities.’
