Mother Tongue Avital Sheffer

Mother Tongue is an exhibition of ceramic sculptures by Avital Sheffer at Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery. Sheffer, an artist based on the North Coast of New South Wales, Australia, draws on her ancestral heritage and experience of migration. Her intricately worked vessels are inscribed with patterns, symbols and fragments of ancient Hebrew, Arabic and Aramaic script. The works explore how memory, language and identity are carried across places and generations.
