gerry o'connor

Gerry has a three-year Tafe Certificate in Studio Ceramics, and has specialised in Raku pottery for more than 25 years. Since Raku became popular among Western potters  sixty years ago its scope has been broadened to  include sculpture and  brilliant glaze colour.  He has worked with several Melbourne potters who specialise in glaze and firing technology to solve colour problems in Raku glazes and to refine Raku firing techniques.

For Gerry, Raku also has a deep philosophical base in Zen, which he finds compelling and which influences his work. Zen stresses spontaneity, simplicity and the aesthetics of irregularity and asymmetry as found in nature, as opposed to the aesthetics of balance and regularity as found in most western art. Western Raku is also influenced by Abstract Expressionism, which teaches that an artwork is the product of the individual, the process and the material, not just the product of the dominating will of the artist.

Gerry has exhibited regularly in Australia since 1990, and his work was included in several shows in Italy in 1996. His Raku is in private collections in Australia and in many overseas countries.

Gerry has written a play that has been performed professionally, and is also a photographer. Two of his  photographic  portrait exhibitions have been acquired by the Queensland State Library.
