Unsupervised
by Nani Puspasari
at Taoxichuan Glass Studio Basement Gallery
Taoxichuan Art Centre
Jingdezhen, China
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.
Nani Puspasari is a Chinese Indonesian multidisciplinary visual artist based in Melbourne, Australia working across ceramics, sculpture, installation, painting, and illustration. Her practice is grounded in storytelling, memory, and cultural hybridity, drawing from her childhood in South Borneo and her experience of migration. Through playful forms and quiet humour, she explores themes of identity, belonging, loss, and resilience, often transforming everyday objects into vessels of personal and collective memory. Nani has been finalist the Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize, North Queensland Ceramic Awards, and Muswellbrook Art Prize. She has participated in international residencies and exhibitions, shaping her place-responsive and experimental approach.
