Biography

Teffany Thiedeman graduated from The ANU Ceramics Department in the last century. She is a Director of Aeon Arts, a NFP cultural organisation whose mission is to bring creative opportunities to the people. As an artist she has exhibited broadly, in graveyards, paddocks and even art galleries! She loves art interactives and getting people to have a play with clay. Her practice is inspired by fables, mythology and storytelling. Especially the spaces inside and around the stories. Her work is hand built and frequently figurative and personal, drawing upon her adventures in this amazing world. Teffany loves working with community art projects, kids and the art curious. Tasmania has been her second home for over 20 years where she frequently collaborates with Red Ochre Studio and continues to be constantly inspired by its natural beauty and unending source of hope for the future.

"Art is my joyful compulsion & channel to enchantment; an unlimited source of creativity, a secret garden of boundless imagination which inhabits and elevates my everyday existence.
I see myself as one of the many channel makers."
