Gallery installation with pottery pieces and drawings.

Fantastic Forms

'The first impulse of the maker of hand pottery is to obtain pleasure in making and decorating an article, and making that pleasure intelligible to others…' – Merric Boyd, 1930

Fantastic Forms captures the energy, movement and colour in the expansive creative practice of Merric Boyd (1888-1959). Featuring over 200 drawings and ceramics from the Bundanon Collection, in dialogue with contemporary works by Rubyrose Bancroft, Stephen Benwell and Nabilah Nordin, this exhibition celebrates the endless creativity of the human imagination.

This Bundanon Touring exhibition will travel to ten regional and metropolitan venues across Australia from 2025 through until 2028.
