Honor Freeman harnesses the reflective
qualities of clay through slip casting, creating
porcelain moulds that echo their original
objects – a memory of a past form – a ghost.
Freeman further explores this idea in the
residual stories (real and imagined) of
objects in the Art Gallery of South Australia’s
collection, relating to ritual, mourning,
loss and solace. She responds to materials
once used to collect tears of the dead while,
simultaneously interrogating contemporary
everyday materials that dry, wipe away or
collect those of the living.

shadows of the science fiction genre: the
hybrid, the noisy, the forbidden, and the
vernacular. More importantly, they spark the
individual imagination solidifying its role
as a critical element in the science fiction
vision. They investigate the possibilities of
what lies beneath, or beyond the counter
culture New Wave discovering the detritus of
the future, the ecologies of other spaces, and
the polymorphic technologies of tomorrow
through a range of subjects from surveillance
to the human body.
