The inaugural Makerspace commission features an exclusive mural and works on paper by emerging Greek-Australian artist Lara Moisi.
Windows Into The Past reimagines ancient Greek pottery in soft new colour palettes and textures, creating a vibrant, refreshed take on an ancient tradition. Beginning with an abstract foundation of shifting colours and brushstrokes, Lara's vessels boldly emerge, each one featuring its own unique design.
Lara's striking work is accompanied by text and a hands-on craft activity, designed for young visitors to engage with both her art and the history behind it.
