About the Artist
Casey Anne St John is an Australian ceramic artist creating one-of-a-kind sculptural vessels by hand from her studio in Bundeena, a coastal village south of Sydney.
Working coil by coil without the use of a pottery wheel, her practice investigates how devotion, ornament and careful attention can create objects that invite slow looking, moments of recognition, and a renewed relationship with the living world.
Her work has been exhibited throughout Australia and is held in private collections, including the acquisition of Earth and Ether for the Gruyere Farm Project by Simone Haag (Studio Manifold) following her selection as a finalist in the 2024 National Emerging Art Prize.
Studio
Every sculpture begins as a single coil of clay and is built entirely by hand over weeks of making. Without the use of machines or a pottery wheel, each vessel slowly emerges through hundreds of individual gestures before being refined, glazed and kiln fired.
This deliberate pace is central to Casey's practice. Rather than pursuing efficiency, each work is created through sustained attention, allowing time, labour and ornament to become inseparable from the finished object.
