DAMON MOON
Skittle Series
Using slip cast multiples and repetitive forms, Damon Moon explores the subtle shifts in technique and materiality between his work and the selected ceramics. He offers a form of object-based conversation between his own ceramics works and works from each Collection selected to reflect on each place’s history of art and industry. These inspirations include the utilitarian vessels of early Chinese migrants; domestic-ware made by Bendigo Pottery; and a series of works selected to respond to a building’s architecture.
Each piece is individually made, imperfections, size and markings may vary slightly.
A second-generation maker, Damon Moon is one of Australia’s most respected and prolific commentators on ceramics. His career has spanned working as a curator in contemporary South-East Asian art to doctoral research into the development of mid-twentieth century Australian studio pottery. His experience spans both industry and art and in his current role as Creative Director of the JamFactory Contemporary Craft and Design ceramics studio in Adelaide, South Australia, he is responsible for the design and production of tableware, a program of training through the prestigious JamFactory Associate training scheme and is constantly liaising with industry leaders in the world of art, craft and design.
In addition to his role at the JamFactory, Damon’s practice encompasses working as an exhibiting artist and as a curator, writer, presenter and facilitator in the field of contemporary Australian ceramics.
