Liz Low works in porcelain to produce tableware and sculptural pieces.

The thrown and softly shaped domestic vessels are a response to the plasticity and translucency found in porcelain and moving water. The sculptural pieces are thrown and constructed. They are objects which might be found on the beach with its ever-changing system of growth, deposition and erosion by waves and wind.

Liz is interested in the particular purity, edginess, harshness and vigour found on Victoria’s coastal orientation to the Southern Ocean and the Antarctic. However, now working so close to the head of Port Phillip Bay, a very different body of water, she’s looking forward to seeing what will happen with her thoughts and work.

Liz graduated from RMIT with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) and a Siemens RMIT Fine Arts Travelling Scholarship in 2002. She has been short- listed twice for the Sydney Myer Fund International Ceramic Art Award (2004 and 2008), won the 2007 Box Hill Community Arts Centre National Art Prize with the winning piece being acquired by the City of Whitehorse. Her work has been selected for exhibitions in Melbourne, Townsville, Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, New Delhi.
