In October 2024, multi-disciplinary artist Brendan Huntley joined SAM Communications Officer Mikela Guseli for a conversation exploring Huntley's diverse creative practice. Known best for his clay and painting practice, the conversation spans from Huntley's early DIY art exhibitions with his parents to fronting Melbourne-based punk band Eddy Suppression Ring, and how the act of creating has been a constant form of self-discovery and self-expression through the past two decades. Brendan Huntley is a prolific artist who works across music, painting and sculpture. His work is currently on display at SAM in Ceramics in Focus, where he playfully references historic ceramic forms to explore the human psyche and what it means to be human, instilling each of his works with individual sensibilities. Huntley approaches his ceramic practice with a belief that the transformative process of sculpting and firing clay involves a transfer of energy, giving each sculpture its own personality.Stay in touch with SAM on socials:Instagram / www.instagram.com/sam_sheppartonFacebook / www.facebook.com/sheppartonartmuseumSign up to our monthly newsletter via MailchimpVisit the SAM website to discover our exhibitions and programs: www.sheppartonartmuseum.com.auAbout SAM:Shepparton Art Museum (SAM) is located on Yorta Yorta Country, Shepparton, Victoria.As a leading Australian regional art museum, SAM showcases its exhibitions and collections in new and exciting ways to create a welcoming, inclusive, and engaging space for all visitors.Recognised for its significant Australian ceramics collection and nationally significant collection of Indigenous art, SAM’s programming is designed to be locally relevant and engages with global contemporary ideas.
