Call Me Agnostic

"Call Me Agnostic" is a self portrait, ceramic painting in abstract expressionist style. Using experimental methods and recycled materials, this piece encapsulates 'material' as part of the 'message' of being part of a bigger experiment; Life. Bright colours and rich application are to reveal the joy of creation as well as of existence; of being seen and alive.

Rachael McCallum lives and works in Sydney, engaging with painterly ideas in the ceramic medium. Graduating from National Art School as recently as 2014, her studio practice revolves around the notion of experimentation as the main creator; chemical reaction as expression; nature as painter. These ideas stem from influences as rich and varied as volcanic formations, oil spill patterns and cloud formations; choosing to celebrate them as objects of wonder.
