Wild Earth: JB Blunk and Toshiko Takaezu pairs two artists whose experiments across a range of handcrafted media yielded some of the most iconic works of the postwar studio craft movement. Wild Earth explores Takaezu and Blunk’s handmade worlds, as expressed through objects ranging in scale from monumental ceramics and woodcarvings to tea bowls and jewellery. Placing their work in dialogue, the exhibition highlights a shared interest in organic forms and patterns of growth, as inspired by garden vegetables, river stones, weathered timber, and the land and seascapes of the Pacific Rim.
Organised by Daniel Marcus, Curator of Collections and Exhibitions, the show brings together around 200 works from private and public collections.
