Flowers, I Bought Myself
By Jade Piltz
Jade Piltz is a local artist and a student at Warrandyte Pottery Studio, exploring ceramics for the first time.
Jade is fascinated by our innate search for belonging, a persistent desire for meaning and relationship to change. Using mark making, she explores the ways our interactions with surrounding spaces and objects, narrate our lives.
Her large scale paintings present layers of color, pattern and gesture. Each layer activates the next in a playful unknowing within the creative process. The quality of a moment in passing is revealed as the viewer observes remnants of each layer, as if marking time and mapping memory.
In her recent ceramic works, Jade draws connection between clay and paint, and further examines the nature of these materials as both somatic and conceptual tools in her practice.
Flowers, I Bought Myself is a collection of works made during a time of transition, where encounters with new surroundings spark curiosity and encourage us to pursue what remains mysterious and undefined, in hope of meaningful discovery.
