🏺 'Fragile World' Exhibition by Sassy Park Opens in Nowra

Nowra's art scene welcomes 'Fragile World,' a compelling new exhibition by Sassy Park, the 2024 winner of the Shoalhaven Regional Gallery exhibition as part of the Meroogal Women's Art Prize. The exhibition brings together a diverse collection of recent ceramic figurative sculptures, artist prints created during a residency in Paris, and watercolours that span the artist's distinguished career.

Park's work explores themes of vulnerability and fragility, expressed through thoughtful scale, intimacy, and a touch of humour. Her figurative ceramic pieces offer intimate portrayals that draw inspiration from various ceramic traditions. The medium of clay, with its inherent qualities of both fragility and strength, serves as a powerful metaphor for everyday themes and debates. Alongside these, her works on paper, including portraits and text-based pieces, delve into desire, identity, and emotional closeness.

The Meroogal Women's Art Prize, a non-acquisitive competition responding to Nowra's historic Meroogal house, has been a significant platform for women artists for two decades. The Shoalhaven Regional Gallery proudly partners with Museums of History NSW in supporting this prestigious prize.

Locals can view 'Fragile World' at 12 Berry Street, Nowra, from Friday, July 26, 2025, through to Saturday, October 18, 2025.
