Cybele Cox’s Ceramic Works Acquired and Featured in Artbank Melbourne

24 Oct 2024

Recently acquired by Artbank, Cybele Cox’s two ceramic works White Shepherd and Blue Healer are currently on display as part of I Can’t Stop (Holding On) at Artbank Melbourne.

Cox subverts traditions of the ceramic medium and character jug, reconstructing new myths from the remnants of old ones. Playfully adapting the form, White Shepherd depicts the vessel with arms on hips as if in exasperation or challenge. I Can’t Stop (Holding On) presents a selection of ceramics from the Artbank Collection, capturing the desire to hold onto the past.

The exhibition is on view until 20 December 2024 at Artbank Melbourne.
