Things I Carried Quietly
Unsupervised reflects a way of working shaped during my residency in Jingdezhen, the historic capital of porcelain. Embracing curiosity, risk, and intuition, the exhibition treats the studio as an open laboratory, where control is loosened, mistakes are welcomed, and experimentation leads. Moving between discipline and mischief, Unsupervised celebrates freedom, trust in not knowing, and allowing the work to grow on its own terms.

Things I Carried Quietly by Nani Puspasari reflects on the unseen emotions tied to migration, cultural transition, and remembering the places once called home. Drawing from her Chinese-Indonesian background and life in Australia, Nani brings together hand-built ceramics, paintings, and drawings that are shaped by her fragmented childhood memories.
Playful, tender, and poetic, the works reimagine hybrid fruits, altered household objects, forgotten toys, shy animals, and figurative forms. Arranged in loose constellations, they suggest closeness without resolution, tracing the subtle imprints of belonging and displacement.
