TANIA VRANCIC<br />

For some time now I have been pursuing freedom in my work and how to link my<br />

ceramics practice with my painting practice. I have found that my best work is made<br />

when I’m ‘in the zone’ having fully let go of any inhibitions, preconceived ideas and<br />

expectations, taking risks to push the boundaries of my practice further. The link<br />

between ceramics and painting can be clearly seen in the free brushstrokes in both<br />

mediums, the colour pallet chosen and the general theme of freedom through the<br />

brush strokes.<br />

I am posing two questions “What does freedom mean to you?” and “When do you<br />

personally feel most free?”. Freedom began with some sketches on old book pages<br />

which then lead to sourcing letters and documents related to the theme Freedom<br />

or juxtaposed to it for contrast. These writings have informed and challenged my<br />

personal understanding of freedom and how many of us take freedom for granted in<br />

our culture.<br />

Tania Vrancic is a ceramic artist based in Canberra, Australia. Her designs have<br />

(and continue to) gain success at high end design markets based in Canberra. Her<br />

production work is sold under the name ‘Kittilä by Tania Tuominen’ (her maiden<br />

name). In 2016, Tania made the decision to move from production work and focus on<br />

creating conceptual artworks.<br />
