Overview

Suki and Hugh Gallery is proud to present Liminal Lines, an evocative and thought-provoking collection bringing together two South Coast artists, Amy Schleif, working in glass, and Jo Victoria, working with translucent porcelain.

Marks in nature are evidence of the fragile forces of time and the elements. In Liminal Lines, Amy and Jo explore fleeting moments through mark-making in glass and porcelain.

Amy's practice engages with themes of fragility and perception through the interplay of lines, light, reflection, and shadow. Her drawn lines record the opportunities to consider realities and the impact of behavior's. They record the choices made to see or be distracted.

Jo's new body of work draws inspiration from the ephemeral creek systems of the South Coast, particularly Bengello Creek at South Broulee Beach. This natural phenomenon, which erupts irregularly and often violently from the swamp and creek system behind the dunes, carves dramatic sand cliffs as it forces its way to the ocean, carrying tonnes of sand in its wake. Jo's translucent porcelain cliffs trace the lines of these fleeting forces — waterway trajectories, shifting sands, and their inevitable collapse.

Together, Amy and Jo's works offer a poetic meditation on liminality: the thresholds between presence and absence, permanence and impermanence, fragility and resilience.
