Stumbling across something unexpected can be exciting and challenging. Oasis attempts to bombard the senses with colour, shape, tone and detail to express the feeling of utter delight when being faced with a new environment or situation. Inspired by the stark disparity of stone and tile that make up the streetscape of Malta, Oasis is all about capturing life’s hidden treasures. Sometimes when faced with unexpected situations, we are forced to take a step back and look at the ‘bigger picture’, while others draw us in and make us analyse all of the details closely. Made up of 270 ceramic tiles, this work invites the audience to consider each tile as its own separate identity but also draws on the concept of capturing beauty from a single moment in time.

Showing the work from an awarded graduate of the ANU, as part of the ANU Emerging Artists Support Scheme. Powell was selected for this exhibition by the Chair of M16 artspace, Vasiliki Nihas.
