JamFactory’s Icon celebrates the achievements of South Australia’s most influential artists working in craft-based media. Inspired by the symbiosis between science and poetry Angela Valamanesh’s art works elicits intrigue and a strong sense of personal investigation, as she manipulates seemingly familiar botanical and parasitic forms in beguiling and unusual ways. Primarily known for her biomorphic ceramic sculpture, this exhibition also celebrates the artist’s evocative drawings, watercolours, and mixed media works from her developing style of the late 1990s until present.
