Art Images Gallery will present a selection of glazed ceramic vessels by South Australian artist Nikki Dowdell.
The exhibition runs from 9 October to 8 November 2026, with an opening on Friday 9 October from 6–8pm.
Dowdell’s distinctive ceramic practice spans porcelain and stoneware, using wheel-thrown vessels that combine sculptural form with an expressive approach to colour and glaze. Her work draws inspiration from the natural world and from our enduring connection to it.
Central to Dowdell’s practice is an ongoing fascination with glaze chemistry and the unpredictability of the firing process. Through continual experimentation, she embraces unexpected results and subtle variations, producing pieces that are both richly individual and inherently unique.
Dowdell’s love of clay began during her final year of high school.
