“In the sculptures created by Grace Brown in her Melbourne studio, ceramics are fine art but also functional design pieces. Brown’s influences include geometry, architecture and the work of MC Escher. Before producing a piece using wheel-thrown or hand-building techniques, Brown works with a 3D artist to envision her sculptures within an imagined world, giving the works a sense of place. ‘I look towards architecture and fallen monuments that exist in our world as well as imagined landscapes from science fiction or my own imagination,’ says Brown, who cites the Star Wars universe as one inspiration.”
