WA artists interrogate and reinvent their traditional disciplines to create carefully crafted artists’ books that unfold their connections to land, humanity and place.

Coincident investigates the connection between objects and images, drawing on the histories of craft and art.

Eminent West Australian ceramist Bernard Kerr’s fourth solo show explores how ceramic objects are displayed, represented, perceived, and used in Western culture. This exhibition aims to shape conversations around the puzzling phenomenological relationship between our interactions with, and perceptions of, objects and images. In this case, between hand -crafted ceramic objects and still life paintings.

Juxtaposing functional ceramic and trompe l’oeil objects with representational artworks, Coincident examines how functional ceramic objects, bounded by domesticity and ideas about craft, are camouflaged by our privileging of images and take on different meanings when presented as sculptural groups or images.
