Lea Durie’s artistic practice is concerned with the places humans inhabit and brings attention to the small ways we engage with our surroundings. She is interested in how we see ourselves as part of a broader web of connection, beyond the human and how we might find a way through the tangle of extreme weather and changing climate.

Working primarily in clay, Lea’s work goes underground into the material geology of a place, in a conversation of making. The slow processes and sensory exploration of the messy materiality of foraged local clays and rock creates ways to explore these places, little by little. This material has its own force, with much to say.

‘Conversations’ starts with a curiosity of what is revealed when things are brought to the surface. It combines foraged local clays as body and slip and rock pigments from the places of human habitation she has been exploring in NSW, combined with commercial clays and glazes.
