Sculptor combines rust and ceramic forms

Sometimes we come across a fellow artist whose work just seems to resonate with you. Last night Fiona and I attended the opening of Kim Schoenberger’s exhibition at Maleny Artworks Gallery.

We were both impressed with how well her larger sculptural pieces were designed and resolved. She has combined the texture, great glaze and strong lines of her ceramic work with the rust of found objects and rusted welded pedestals. Of course we had to buy some of her work for the block. It will continue to rust and weather nicely outside when installed in our rock river.

Photos of a few pieces from the exhibition are attached – but the exhibition is really worth a visit either physically or virtually.
