"WEDGE" explores the push and pull of closeness and separation through both form and function. As a shape, a wedge is deliciously simple, yet it evokes complex dynamics with its inherent capacity to connect, support or divide.

According to Dunbar’s number, there are limits to the number of meaningful relationships we can successfully maintain. These boundaries sit beneath the presented pieces, where small interactions become markers of human togetherness and tension.

With a craft practice focused on the process of mould-making and slip-casting, Emma Jimson works with plaster, porcelain and glaze to design and create objects to both hold and be held.

Based on her family's farm in the Macedon Ranges of Central Victoria, Emma Jimson creates elegantly refined forms which delicately dance the seductive line between form and function. Jimson's works firmly echo the power and beauty of the surrounding granite hills of the Taungurung peoples as she leans on the strength of porcelain and precision of her master mould-making. The chemistry, alchemy and process of her ceramic practice are an endless source of curiosity and wonder that drives experimentation, challenges comfort and informs direction.

Jimson regularly holds workshops to share her skill and knowledge in the design, construction and utilisation of pottery, plaster moulds and casting with porcelain slip bodies. Jimson runs "Pom-me-granite Studios" with her partner Jim, a bespoke carpenter.
