Lives and works in Sydney
Mac Mansfields practice nudges the history of narrative in visual art, working across media, his work is visually theatrical and irreverent.
With Ceramics Mac’s practice involves making traditional vessels as well as ceramic tablets that imitate stretched canvas. The painting and drawing on ceramic vessels and tablets are naive and wilfully ignorant of the high culture the classical forms suggest. Through this consciously naive approach an interest in combining modes of “high” and “low” art is explored.
