The work of ceramic artist Angela Valamanesh is featured in this year’s JamFactory Icon series, an annual exhibition celebrating the achievements of South Australia’s most influential artists working in craft-based media. Valamanesh’s works visualise the symbiosis between art and science through human, animal and organic representation and form. Her simple structures envelop complex biological, historical, and philosophical themes, whereas their beguiling and unusual construction prompts our interest and a strong sense of personal investigation; looping us back to their primal, raw appearance and function.
