Barkly Street Laneway is an art spotter’s dream, with the latest display highlighting work from local potter Amelia Kingston.
The ceramic sculptures on display are inspired by visions of the Iron Bark bushland surrounding Amelia’s home, created in earth-coloured clays.
Amelia Kingston is a potter based in the Grampians, creating hand-built ceramic forms and firing her kilns using a carbon-neutral, off-grid system.
Ararat Rural City Mayor Jo Armstrong encourages the public to take a stroll down Barkly Street Laneway to view the ceramic display before Tuesday 20th June.
“It’s wonderful to have our outdoor Gallery shine a spotlight on the practice of a Grampians artist working in clay,” said Cr Armstrong.
“Drawing from the setting of Iron Bark bushland – you’ll find elements resembling mounds of the local species of plants, birds, and arthropods within these ceramic sculptures.
“There’s just over a week left to appreciate Amelia’s work – why not take a detour down the Barkly Street Laneway to find them!”
This exhibition space was created thanks to the Victorian Government's COVID Safe Outdoor Activation Fund 2021, as part of a larger laneway refurbishment project. To apply to exhibit here, please email [email protected]
