Working primarily with earthenware clay, her practice transforms recognisable references into playful, tactile ceramic objects. Fiona Lewis' ceramic practice explores nostalgia, memory and popular culture, with a particular interest in the role film and television play in shaping personal and collective experience. Her work considers how seemingly ordinary objects can become loaded with meaning through their association with particular characters, scenes or moments in time.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThrough humour, sentimentality and a playful approach to form, Lewis examines the relationship between screen culture, memory and the objects we attach meaning to. By translating fleeting on-screen imagery into physical objects, her work gives permanence to the visual fragments that linger with us long after viewing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-fQLpxn eoOGDx\"\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-bAehkN eXOdeP phx-GridRow row phx-GridRow--large\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-gahYZc osAnh phx-GridCell phx-GridCell--col1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-bEjUoa sc-jvKoal eGjvKy bSodFS\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/strong\u003eCrackle Glazed Earthenware, Powdered Gold and Urushi\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-eZSpzM dTSawo\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-bAehkN eXOdeP phx-GridRow row phx-GridRow--large\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-gahYZc osAnh phx-GridCell phx-GridCell--col1\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-bEjUoa sc-jvKoal eGjvKy bSodFS\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-bEjUoa sc-jvKoal eGjvKy bSodFS\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34 x 8 x 6cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-eZSpzM dTSawo\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-bAehkN eXOdeP phx-GridRow row phx-GridRow--large\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-gahYZc osAnh phx-GridCell phx-GridCell--col3\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fiona Lewis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67548089286874,"sku":"C-FL004","price":980.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0033\/5002\/files\/049_Craft_Visionaries_Product_2_2026_C_Armstrong.jpg?v=1793253627","url":"https:\/\/shop.craft.org.au\/products\/fiona-lewis-hold-please-sculpture","provider":"SHOP@Craft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
