Kirsty Manger, Lee Goller, Jodie Maree Phelan and Meredith Plain are four ceramic artists who  are using clay to tell their stories  about Lazy Days. 

These different stories reference such themes as the clouds in a summer sky, nostalgic memories of carefree childhoods, al fresco dining, nature and the outdoors. Their narratives will will be expressed in unusual artworks combining interesting forms and surfaces.

As well as working in their individual studios, the four, including mother & daughter Lee and Kirsty, have been working together recently to share ideas for this exhibition.

Meredith Plain

" When I heard the title Lazy Days, the stories and images which came to mind were nostalgic childhood memories based in a small country town in the 50s & 60s. Cubbies and clubs, days at the local pool, or weeks at the beach, daisy chains, reading, swings & slides & swap cards, cowboys & indianns, walking to school... Maybe not so very lazy days! But freedom to play, create our own narratives, learn.

This was a time when childhood was spent outdoors - before computers, and right at the cusp of TV - indeed, we were the first in our street to have a TV and there would often be a roomful of kids clustered round the set to watch the Mickey Mouse club. This was also a time when we hadn"t heard, or hadn't thought about the impact or growing material prosperity was having on our planet's climate; didn't realise all the magic new chemicals could be a problem; we were a White Australia and the original inhabitants didn't have the vote
