Astrid Salomon
Astrid Salomon — Vase #1, 2025
DONE/UNDONE
Curated by Joseph Gardner
VISIONARIES 2025: Presenting the future of Australian art, craft and design through the lens of one of the country's most influential creatives.
—
Building upon her Volume Series, Melbourne based artist Astrid Salomon showcases a collection full of playful contemplation around the emotional weight one carries, deforming, yet often concealed from the outside conversation. The works lure the viewer into a world of emotional tension, recognising the beauty in imperfections and complexity of the human experience. Life as the source, experienced in layers. Like coils upon coils.

With a deep passion for ceramics, Astrid Salomon's background in visual Arts has a big influence on her current practice, which she started by setting up her own studio in 2020. Always encouraging the unique voice of a piece, Astrid approaches her work in a conversation with the material, searching for the contradictions of nature, the raw and the refined, the line and the curve, the taking up space, the quiet appearing of a manifestation.

Joseph Gardner is the 2025 Visionaries curator – presenting DONE/UNDONE: an exhibition of 50+ artists, and one of Craft’s largest exhibitions to date – featuring artists working across medium, scale and practice, representing exceptional Australian talent.
DONE/UNDONE explores the creative process as a space of constant negotiation – a series of decisions to build, erase, repeat, or let be. It’s about that intuitive moment when a maker chooses to pause, to push further, or to dismantle entirely. These are the choices that define the rhythm of making – choices familiar to artists, designers, and creators across disciplines.
Joseph Gardner is the Style Editor at Vogue Living, with a decade of experience in publishing and styling, and the founder of Sydney-based gallery, Studio Gardner.
