It will give you an idea about the ways in which ceramics can be used.
Lesley Baker made this public artwork.
It is set into a garden beside a footpath and is made mainly with glazed bricks.
In those gaps behind the shapes are words.

Sandra Hill has made this ceramic artwork in Melville
Its a circular clay mural which is then cut into pieces and fired.
below information from the website:
Entry Statement to the Site by Sandra HillThe work has several rammed earth curved walls that were fabricated at the beginning of the pathway leading into the Memorial site. A feature is the visual timeline etched into clay tablets that meander along the full length of the walls. They are reminiscent of the Waugal moving in and out of the land as well as acting as a connecting feature for the Burial Site. The walls, gradually grade down until they disappear back into the earth.
The imagery tells the story of Yagan and his family, their alienation from the white people, the taking and fencing off of their traditional land, the killings and the payback, and the treacherous ambush of Yagan, Heegan and his party by the Keates brothers at the site in 1833. Wall one depicts the story of Yagan and his people from colonisation to his untimely and tragic death.
Sandra Hill is a visual artist and a Yorga of the Nyoongar (Nyungar) people of Australia (South West of Western Australia). She worked on a series of paintings that were taken to New York. She also worked with Jenny Dawson (Ceramic Artist) at the J Shed Art Studio to produce a large scale group of ceramic public artworks to be located at the memorial park that honour the memory of Yagan. The site was opened early in July 2010.
