Georgia Black
Georgia Black — 'Los Bronces' Sculptural Ceramic, 2024
This sculptural ceramic from Naarm based artist Kohl Tyler explores the interplay between materiality, form, and concepts of time and place, bridging the natural and the speculative. Investigating the form of a spiral; the repetition, curves and ripples that emanate outward speak to what has grown, rather than fabricated.
Using both stoneware and porcelain clay bodies, Kohl's vessels vary in tone from earthy buffs to bright whites. Thinly carved clay surfaces lay beneath a white dolomite glaze, it’s matte white and grey hues shimmer with small diopside crystals. Rippled walls fold inward and outward, opening to the viewer in unexpected ways, evoking notions of life’s ephemerality and interconnectedness.

Georgia Black is an early career artist based in Naarm/Melbourne. Originally from Canberra, Georgia has a Bachelor of Visual Arts from the Australian National University, where she graduated with honours, majoring in drawing and printmaking. Since moving to Melbourne in 2018, she retrained in ceramics and completed a Master of Fine Arts at the VCA, University of Melbourne.
Her research is driven by a growing concern for the ways in which her art practice connects to the ongoing environmental crisis. Through process-led and alternative methods of making that use ceramic waste material, Georgia's practice explores ceramics as a medium for fostering ecological awareness and connection to place.
