FREE ADMISSION | GALLERY OPEN: Wednesday to Sunday 10.30am – 3.30pm | Closed Monday, Tuesday & Public Holidays

The Body Vessel: Desire is a collection of ceramic vessels that emerged from Aurora Elwell’s personal exploration into the nature of yearning - how it shapes, compels, and often consumes us. Elwell’s artistic practice is driven by a desire to understand her own emotions, which she interprets into tangible forms. Desire is not a simple or singular feeling; it is a complex force that pulls us in different directions, simultaneously creating a sense of longing, fulfillment and emptiness.

The Body Vessel: Desire reveals the many layers of human longing, reflecting on its hidden complexities. Desire can feel sharp, urgent and captivating, a force that moves us towards what we want. In Elwell’s work, desire is portrayed not only as a motivator but also as a reflection of our deeper needs and vulnerabilities, a powerful and paradoxical emotion that shapes the contours of our human experience.

Join us between 11am - 1pm on Sunday 12 January for a Meet the Artist event with Aurora Elwell. Come along to see her exhibition The Body Vessel: Desire and learn more about her artistic practice.
