Sally Kent
Melbourne, Vic, Australia
The Blooming ~ A Solo Show
Grainger Gallery ~ March 2025
This exhibition draws upon three stories, Eve, Pandora and Bluebeard’s Wife. In each of these myths, the female protagonist defies instructions or expectations with consequences that have traditionally been used by patriarchal society as a warning to women to stay in their lane and behave. Here, Kent reflects on feminine power and re-frames these women as heroines and seekers of knowledge. The potent imagery in religion and myth speaks to our subconscious through familiarity and tradition. Kent has created a lush garden of flowers and serpents, celebrating femininity and abundance, punctuated by reminders of mortality.
Sally Kent is a contemporary Australian ceramicist, working predominantly with hand-built
porcelain. She has exhibited widely, including most recently at the National Gallery of
Victoria in Art of Bloom. Kent was a finalist in the Victorian Craft Awards and the
Ravenswood Women’s Art Prize. Dark Flower Pods was Highly Commended in the 2020
Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize.
Kent holds a Bachelor of Arts (Ceramic Design), a Bachelor of Laws and a Post Graduate
Diploma in Art History and Film Studies from Monash University. She works in Melbourne/
Naarm, on Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri land.
