In Conversation: Q&A with Gabby Malpas

Navigating the ceramic world

Gabby Malpas, a Chinese transracial adoptee raised in New Zealand, confronts racism and cultural identity through activist ceramics rich with ancient and modern symbolism. A 1986 graduate of the Otago Art School, Dunedin NZ with a major in ceramics, Gabby has returned to this most ancient of arts to create vessels of power and great beauty. Join Gabby as she outlines her laborious process and techniques in producing elaborate totems which stand up to 200cm in height.
