Summary

Gillian Martin is a Melbourne-based artist working primarily in ceramics. Gillian holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Ceramics) from Monash University and has a background in photography, a practice that continues to inform her attention to composition and surface detail. Since returning to clay. Gillian has focused on material exploration, working across a variety of clay bodies to investigate new approaches to form, color, and texture. Color and stripes plays a central role in Gillian's process. Through layered applications of contrasting tones and slips, Gillian creates dynamic, evolving surfaces to explore concepts of perception, optical illusions, and the nature of lines. This intuitive, unstructured approach allows each piece to develop its own visual language, shaped by instinct, emotion, and material response.
