The seed for this exhibition came to me whilst engrossed in discovering the life and works of Agnes Martin, thus the title for this show. The idea was to create a reverberation on the basis of selecting ceramic artists to look outside of their medium to those working in other fields and select an artist.

For many years I’d seen the work of David Rosetsky. The first image I saw was “Living Together is Easy”. I was immediately drawn to the powerful imagery. Some years later I saw the video at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra of Kate Blanchett and was mesmerised. I’ve followed his trajectory ever since. Some of the key qualities of David’s highly disciplined work is his ability to capture beauty, mystery and optimism in humanity.
