Shannon Garson

Sunshine Coast, Queensland

Shannon Garson is an artist, writer and curator with a studio practice spanning 20 years that includes commissions for festivals, exhibitions at public and private galleries, and arts advocacy. She works across a range of media primarily using drawing and thrown porcelain vessels. She also create multimedia events with photography and performance to investigate the relationship between human activity and the infinite variety of striations, spots, and marks found in nature.

Garson’s practice works on two levels producing and manufacturing, engaging with material processes and the constraints of clay and the abstract, conceptual world of philosophy, ideas and aesthetics. her creative framework involves working with a specific geographical area, investigating the geology, flora and fauna through drawing and photography and creating large bodies of porcelain vessels where the drawings flow from one to another. Work in the studio underpins her entire practice, intense, solitary work, consistently exploring the boundaries of what it is to be human in this shimmering, changeable, dazzling, world.
