<br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is here she created her current body of work and it is because it travels with her that it is small in scale.</span><br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This time the works are all encaustic either on paper, tin panels or museum board and in a tin frame handmade by Sr. Carlos Siqueira, a local tin craftsman.</span></div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The inspiration was the daily life and streetscapes surrounding her on this year's journey. It will always continue to fascinate and be evocative of another world where magic happens for her on a daily basis.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The delicacy of her work is still there but this time so is the colour of Mexico. The bright colours and the subtle ochres which surround.</span></div>

<span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What attracted you/got you started on your artistic path?</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are both been obsessed with the beauty of nature, having grown up in the idyllic landscapes around Byron Bay, on the far north coast of NSW. Our art practice is a process through which we explore this amazing world that surrounds us.</span></div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The natural world is a constant source of inspiration for us - we are constantly collecting rocks, plants, feathers etc that never cease to amaze with their incredible colours & textures.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="color: #999999;"></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="color: #999999;"></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="color: #999999;"></span></span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We would describe our aesthetic as rich, colourful & textural - we love to combine contrasting materials that highlight the beauty of the natural products we are working with.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="color: #999999;"></span></span><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Besides jewellery making, what medium do you enjoy working with?</span><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="color: #999999;"></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our jewellery developed as an extension of our art photography, which we have been exhibiting internationally for 10 years or more. Our photography explores the contrast of the fragility of the body against the harsh extremes of the Australian landscape.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="color: #999999;"></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;"></span><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tell us a bit about your studio space...</span><br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our studio space is a wonderful old lolly factory in East Sydney, one of the few industrial buildings in the area yet to be converted to apartments. The area has an interesting history as the centre of the Razor Gang action in the 1920s & was still surrounded by brothels etc up till the early 90s when we first moved in. It is a great luxury to have the space to use our studio for both photography and our jewellery making. The building has a wonderful, calm ambience despite being in the centre of the city and we surround ourselves with inspirational objects ...... boulders from our favourite beach, unusual and rare plants and pieces from our art nouveau ceramic collection.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="color: #999999;"></span></span>
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you could peek inside the studio of any artist, designer or craftsmen (alive or dead) who would it be?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="color: #999999;"></span></span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are very interested in the aesthetics of the french Art Nouveau movement and the influence of the natural world on the development of their art, so the studios of the sculptor Rodin, the jeweller Rene Lalique & the glass/ceramic artist Emile Galle would be amazing to see. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What’s next for you and your practice?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="color: #999999;"></span></span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are excited to have discovered some beautiful Australian opals to work with for upcoming jewellery pieces & we are looking forward to our first photographic show in Tokyo, later this year. We are also completing a photographic book project that we have been working on for a few years now, so its going busy!</span><br />

Read on to get some insight behind Hayden's work and his inspirations. </span></div>

<span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What attracted you/got you started on your artistic path?</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was just a feeling that I would enjoy playing with clay. With no more experience than that, I chose to major in ceramics and applied object design at the College of Fine Arts, UNSW. After I completed a Bachelor of Design, I started working part time and spent the rest of my time developing my first range of ceramics, which took about 10 months. The whole time I was focusing on the goal of being able to quit my day job and spend the rest of my days having fun throwing mud around the studio. So far it’s all going to plan.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="color: #999999;"></span></span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I look for inspiration in everyday textures and forms that often go unnoticed. The Paper series makes use of a simple creased paper form. This form is cast in porcelain, making what was once fragile and temporary robust and permanent.</span><br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My work is clean, refined, delicate and minimal. I believe that design has the power to make everyday life enjoyable, easier and beautiful. I aim to facilitate pure enjoyment in use. I believe that form follows function and I consider form to be a subsequent but equally important consideration. </span></div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do you have a favourite piece of ceramics (other than your own) that you use on regular basis?</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="color: #999999;"></span></span>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To be honest, I don’t really own any ceramics that I didn’t make! One of the greatest things about making ceramics for a living is taking joy in getting to use them everyday as well. Everything I have at home I made, I use and I love. </span></div>

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My studio space is one of the greatest things about what I do. It’s called the Blockhouse Studio, a communal studio at UNSW Kensington campus that’s open to the public. You get to interact with so many people on a daily basis that are all there to have a great time and enjoy what they love doing. The studio is always filled with great people to go to for advice, bounce ideas off or just to chill out and have a nice chat with. Absolutely beautiful work comes out of this environment.</span></div>

<span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you could peek inside the studio of any artist, designer or craftsmen (alive or dead) who would it be?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Alfred E. Haigh of Haighs Chocolates. Though I definitely wouldn’t be able to just have a peek. I’d be all over that studio hoovering up all the leftovers, experiments, finished and unfinished goodness. </span><br />

An immediate and spontaneous reaction to the country that I find myself in, and the story it is telling me…. showing me. It is about a truth and an honesty that comes from an experience that is open and unfiltered through time or space.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Winter Creative Workshop Festival for Kids". The workshops will take place 10th-15th July 2012 </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">which is the second week of the winter public school holidays. I'm hoping to provide as diverse </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">a range of activities as possible, delivered by people willing to promote their artistic practice in </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">a fun and accessible way to youngster's and their parents.</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> <br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When considering submitting a proposal for a workshop please consider the following 9 points:</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Please keep projects non gender specific.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Children's parents will be in attendance. You are not expected to be responsible for other peoples' kids!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. The cost of the workshop should be around $20 per child. It is up to you to work out a specific price </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">according to the materials required, but please keep in mind that this festival aims to operate sustainably </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and the materials used in workshops should reflect this. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. From each workshop you facilitate you will receive 70% of the overall sum paid and Breathing Colours </span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">will take the remaining 30% as an administration fee. This administration fee contributes to the rental cost </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">of the gallery space. In this sense the festival is "not-for-profit" on the gallery's end, but workshop </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">facilitators will be remunerated according to the amount of attendees their workshop attracts. </span><br />

By the end of the afternoon, five paintings and several prints had been sold; exemplifying the intrinsic draw and beauty of the works exhibited.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The series exemplifies what the artist calls her love of colour and facination with pattern. While taking photos of the occasion we found ourselves many times drawn to the beautiful hues and tonal quality of the paint and methods. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d_Uk2ecHmp0/T2Hb6qLi-eI/AAAAAAAAA_Q/m7uB3TrBYSE/s1600/IMG_1022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d_Uk2ecHmp0/T2Hb6qLi-eI/AAAAAAAAA_Q/m7uB3TrBYSE/s320/IMG_1022.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The above is an example of Pombart's highly effective technique. No colour is muddied, each is independant and vibrant yet works within the whole. Of course like all artists, expecially with those working with the abstract forms of colour and texture, Pombart's art has seen a multitude of changes in techniques and materials. One patron who attended the opening, imparted her own experience with the evolution of Pombart's work. This lady said owns a work which the artist produced in the '90s which was large scale canvas work, strictly in oils. The artist worked with large brushes, pushing and pulling the thick paint into wild and expressive positions. As always, it is facinating to hear stories first hand, especially from someone who collects the work of a particular artist, about the transitions and leaps in artistic methodology. And wonderful to meet those who have consistantly support an artist during their career.</span></div>

It is special for a long list of personal reasons and was purchased on a golden day spent in Melbourne with great friends. Also the maker, Warwick Freeman, is one of my jewellery heroes and the marvellous story he told me about the inspiration for this work reminds me not to take things too seriously and that anything can be possible to a maker if you give yourself permission. </span></div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Firstly I try to reflect on things I experienced or observed, then I think about what materials would be ideal for it and how it could fit a function. They are both explorations through materials. Ceramics is more of an adventure about the interaction between people and how they use space around them, jewellery is more about people in their very immediate personal space. The aesthetic follows. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

We (or you, if you have a suggestion, we welcome suggestions!) set a theme for each week and take seven photos based on that theme. It keeps us busy workers creative on a manageable level... And very much on our toes work-wise. It's an enjoyable creative tangent in contrast to my clay making, it also inspires my ceramics, they compliment one another.</span></span></div><div class="yiv129560765msolistparagraph" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: auto 0cm;"><br />

Currently, I have an exhibition of my entire Honours work from 2010 at Hawkesbury Regional Art Gallery titled Human Condition which continues to 21 August. This year is shaping up to be busy and busier... Which is always a good thing for an artist!</span></span><br />
