Theme: The Land Artist: Peter TRAVIS Birth/Death: 1929 Title: Erotic landscape bowl Credit Line: Crafts Board of the Australia Council Collection 1980. National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.

His ceramics reflect dry, cracked clay riverbeds, harbouring dormant life that will be re-energised with water. More details Click image to enlarge
