Paige Northwood is an interdisciplinary artist. Through her sculptural ceramic and painting practise she explores presence and connection. Her work uses found materials such as local clay, pigment, ochre and charcoal, out of both necessity and respect for living sustainably. This practise allows her to be present with her surroundings and connect with place, often choosing to paint in nature.

After graduating from a bachelor of arts majoring in english literature and philosophy, Northwood went on to study a bachelor of design exploring object design with a strong interest in sculptural ceramic work. This ultimately led her to central Australia to work with the Indigenous artists of The Hermannsburg Potters.

Currently represented by Jerico Contemporary, Sydney, Northwood’s intuitive art-making aims to honour the cohesiveness that exists between the mind, body and land. “I am my work. It’s a pure expression of my being, a doorway to the infinite potential of existence.”
