Shifting Ground showcases a stunning selection of ceramic works by twelve contemporary Australian artists, alongside a poignant collection of historical pieces by pioneering women potters from the Tamborine Mountain region. Each piece is crafted from Tamborine Mountain’s native volcanic clays, uniting artists – both past and present – and highlighting the deep connection between place, material, and tradition. Shifting Ground is a celebratory exhibition that explores how clay, as both material and metaphor, can carry stories across time, connecting past makers with present-day artists. By sharing locally sourced clays, material research, and community stories, this project invites reflection on resilience, place-based practice, and the unseen labour of creative women in regional Australia.
Shifting Ground is a touring exhibition curated by Larissa Warren and presented in partnership with Scenic Rim Regional Council and Museums & Galleries Queensland. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government's Visions of Australia program. Museums & Galleries Queensland is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
