A contemporary jug
Adorned Vessel No. 14 (for Exuberance) by Minaal Lawn
An evolution from the handless variations of the classical form found in South Asian culture, Minaal has considered the jugs’ symbolism in Hindu sacred ceremonies. Imbuing it with the joy and abundance that often resonates with such a ritual.
Minaal Lawn (b.1977) makes ceramic works that celebrate the reconciliation of her Indian heritage with her Australian upbringing. Her work examines the transformation from an inherited culture, revisiting childhood stories and object symbolism, to one that is owned.
Minaal has held solo shows at Stockroom (Kyneton 2023), Art Gallery of Ballarat (2022), Castlemaine Art Museum (2021), Craft Victoria (2020), Craft Contemporary (Castlemaine, 2020), ArtBox (Merrricks, 2019) among others.
Her work has been curated into group shows for Craft Victoria (2023), NGV Melbourne Design Week (2023, 2021), CLAD Gallery (Bendigo, 2020) and Daine Singer (Fitzroy, 2019) among others.
