Unspoken Bonds explores the deep, silent relationships between women, with a focus on the maternal ties that shape us. These ties are felt, experienced within a somatic knowing. The love that a mother devotes is expressed in an unspoken labour of love, care and sacrifice that exists in the spaces between presence and absence, in what is given, held, and remembered. Many of the artists in this collection work with clay, which contains memory within its materiality. Clay reflects unspoken connection in its ability to be a malleable material that allows the artist to create a final form. In Unspoken Bonds, material becomes a vessel for the unseen—the gestures, the weight of devotion, and the enduring presence of connection that lingers as a legacy of love.
Anna Battersby
Anna Battersby is a ceramic artist based in Melbourne, Australia. She creates spontaneous and gestural slip-based works that seek resonance with the natural world around us and explore the relationships between material and process, inviting the viewer to contemplate the material, the poetic, and the imaginative.
Paraskevy Begetis
Paraskevy Begetis’ art practice delves into the complexities of human experience. Her material explorations trace the intangible contours of vulnerability. With a playful yet contemplative approach, she creates works that feel like fragments of a larger narrative.
Allegra Holmes
Allegra Holmes’ practice centres on the concept of empowered ontological embodiment, interrogating the physical body as the primary site where identity, meaning, and experience are made. Drawing on theories of abjection, anarchism and matricentric feminism, she seeks to disrupt cultural narratives that present female biology as inherently oppressive, and to reclaim the lived experience of the body as a source of possibility rather than limitation.
Kristi Pupo
Kristi Pupo is a Sydney-based artist exploring the interconnectedness of people, places, and objects through ceramics, performance, and installation. Her work draws on both Eastern and Western ideologies—especially animism and evolution—to examine the human experience and the spiritual forces within it.
Eleni Tsamoglou
Eleni Tsamoglou’s practice is rooted in the tactile and temporal nature of ceramics, where form, surface, and memory intersect., She uses clay as a primary material to explore how repetition can act as vessels for memory and relationships, both personal and collective. Her work creates a space where material and memory converge.
