Talking Earth presents a collection of pottery by Rebecca Steedman, incorporating locally sourced materials, primarily of volcanic origin. Intentionally embracing irregularities that mirror the natural environment, Rebecca prompts reflection on the relationship between the landscape and contemporary dinnerware. Each piece of pottery is inspired by a local place, forming a cohesive series that encompasses various locations across West Tāmaki Makaurau, including Karekare, Piha and Titirangi.
Inspired by her recent visit to Te Toi Uku and childhood memories associated with Crown Lynn dinnerware, the exhibition serves as a journey exploring the connections between the plates and bowls we use, the company we share meals with, and the environments we choose for dining experiences.
