Exploring the themes of memory, intuition, personal space, familial relationships and protection.
Michelle Ellen Spencer is a contemporary multidisciplinary artist that works from her studio in Brisbane.
Her work is grounded in the tradition of Folk Art and explores themes of memory, feminism, intuition, personal space, familial relationships and protection.
Her current work is closely tied to her ever evolving spiritual practice and she references primitive archetypes and animal shapes in a
reductive earthy palette. She is inspired by women-craft traditions of
making in community and using art as an expression of her sacred inner world.
My porcelain amulets are made with the intention to remind, reveal or hold space for its owner. They’re a reminder of climbing old ladders, sun on your face, casting nets into shallow water, brittle bones and the smell of the forest floor. Mysteries captured within the folds of fine porcelain, air, light, fire, earth and so many stories.
Functional wear should be a daily reminder of ritual, beauty and purpose.
