Inspirations and Concepts

Wendy Jagger is inspired by the austere beauty of rugged, Australian landscapes and native flora. Her field drawings are further developed in the studio into paintings or they are transformed into translucent, relief images within the Southern Ice porcelain vessels she creates on the pottery wheel. The process involves a laborious technique using shellac and water, to leave a sculpturally etched surface.

The pieces are further enlivened by illumination to form a tonally rendered image. "The translucency of porcelain makes my breath catch; its purity, and its paradoxical fragility and strength". These porcelain vessels are unpretentious in form, a perfect canvas for the translucent imagery.

Her work is represented in several public collections and is Wendy's experience as a visual artist spans over 20 years and she specializes in ceramics and painting. She has exhibited nationally and taught at all levels of education. Her work is in public and private collections
