CERAMICS, SCULPTURE, PAPER MACHE
Irene Visser is a Queensland-based artist working predominantly in sculptural ceramics, with occasional ventures into large-scale papier-mâché and painting. Her work is grounded in a deep connection to nature, drawing inspiration from organic forms such as seeds, shells, and botanical structures. Many of her pieces echo the curves and folds of the human body, often referencing feminine forms. Through tactile surfaces and subtle elements that suggest movement, Irene’s sculptures blur the line between plant and creature, inviting viewers to discover both familiar and unexpected details hidden within each form.
