MSCW Alumni Success
MSCW Class of 2023 Alumni, Mana (Maro) Sugimoto, recently exhibited her exceptional ceramic sculptures at the prestigious Gallery LNL in Newtown as part of the exhibition Ideas in Hand.
Mana’s series of four porcelain slip-cast dolls, titled Altar, explores “the things that remain unchanged in people, regardless of who they are.” Her work was exhibited alongside sculptures by renowned contemporary Australian ceramicists Yasmin Smith and Cybele Cox.
Mana first began developing her artistic practice in ceramics during her senior years at MSCW, where her Year 12 Body of Work was selected for ArtExpress at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. She has since gone on to study Visual Arts, specialising in ceramics, at university.
It was a privilege to celebrate with Mana at the opening night of Ideas in Hand.
