Alchemy—Material Transformations

Alchemy brings together over 50 small sculptures and decorative arts objects from the Geelong Gallery Collection. Created by 28 artists and artisans in a variety of materials including stone, bronze, wood, glass and plastic, the exhibition explores the transformative process of artmaking—where raw and found materials are reimagined into expressive forms. From seventeenth- and eighteenth-century European etched glass to contemporary 3D-printed sculpture, the works in this exhibition celebrate artists’ enduring fascination with material experimentation.
