Pippin Drysdale's Tanami Mapping //1 was held<br />
at Sabbia Gallery, Paddington NSW, from 14<br />
May to 7 June <strong>2014</strong>. <strong>The</strong> third instalment <strong>of</strong><br />
the Tanami Mapping Series explores the unique<br />
desert landscapes <strong>of</strong> the north-west <strong>of</strong> Australia .<br />
Four artists, each from different disciplines,<br />
were asked to view the exh ibition and respond<br />
using words or images . Beginning as an<br />
experiment to discover how their backgrounds<br />
influence their viewing <strong>of</strong> ceramics, what<br />
emerged was possibly even more pr<strong>of</strong>ound: the<br />
similarities in response are pro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> art's pow er to<br />
transmit emotion and transcend the individua l to<br />
speak to all, to the human condition.
