Hilary Green

Hilary Green is a ceramic artist based in Naarm, Melbourne. Her sculptures are inspired by the sea, shell fragments found on the sand as well as the shapes and energy of rocks. In her work, she explores organic forms and imperfection through her drawing practice and translates them into surreal stoneware sculptures. Hilary is especially interested in the tactility of clay, her connection with the earth and how she can create the sense of freedom and movement. Her sculptural forms play with ancient shapes mixed with modern colour and playful positions, whilst remaining functional to represent sacred daily presence with objects. She founded Shell Space - an event and art studio in Brunswick to value process and community engagement and also runs monthly classes there to share her practice.
