March 7, 2026 – March 29, 2026
Sydney ceramic artist Jan Downes presents translucent porcelain forms that play with light, shadow and surface. Working primarily in Southern Ice porcelain, Downes carves and etches the clay to create subtle tonal shifts that reveal themselves when illuminated. The show continues Straitjacket’s commitment to contemporary ceramics, pairing technical refinement with quiet, contemplative themes drawn from everyday rituals.
