DIGITAL CATALOGUE
An acclaimed International Artist and Master of Australian Craft,
Pippin Drysdale’s career as a ceramic artist spans 30 years. Her passion for the craft merges with a love of the landscape, which has
travelled across continents and in most recent years has focused
on the vivid desert landscapes of Australia. Her works evoke a
timeless and breathtaking sense of space and place within finely
crafted porcelain vessels, narrating the mesmerising vastness of
colour experienced in the unique Australian landscape.

Working from her studio in Fremantle, surrounded by the catalogue of her trials and experiments – racks of wonderful pots of all
colours and sizes that failed her almost impossible test of quality
– Pippin Drysdale continues to interrogate her practice from the
perspective of an artist without borders. The Falstaffian spirit that
imbues her every action is pitched always at maximum intensity,
from her explosive laugh – that fills not only rooms but auditoria
– to her extravagant generosity and, of course, to her total commitment to her work.
The process of analysis, review and revision continues until she
is convinced she has captured the character of each new series
of work. The landscape is the ever-constant lure, the catalyst for
making, the connecting point and anchor for each new development. Her works is ambitious. It negotiates interweaving journeys
through various landscapes describing her artistic practice and
her engagement with the sites she documents. Through a continuing investigation of the flora and landforms of these unique areas
of Australia and a commitment to engaging with the cultural,
social and political agendas that are shaping them, she is open to
embrace each new creative challenge.
