Everything Falls w/ Andrea Du Chatenier: 24th April, 2026.

Andrea Du Chatenier is a Whanganui-based artist, primarily working amongst ceramics and glass to produce these playfully complex small-scale sculptures. Her practice circulates around this idea of experimentation, an investigation of clay, surfaces, glazes, and forms — driven by a fascination of material, what it can do, and how it will react. Seeking and giving into all of its spontaneity and unpredictability. Allowing the slumping, cracking and shifting of material to not only be allowed within the work, but to let its unpredictability guide the work. 

Her upcoming show at Anna Miles Gallery, Everything Falls presents a new body of dazzling sculptures, that both draw from her past works and previous pathways of experimentation, while also delving head first into a new kind of experimentation. Firing ceramic and glass together, two different materials that behave in completely different manners when placed in the kiln. 

But with this unpredictability comes spontaneous moments of success. A meeting of forms, textures, and colours that lead the viewer into a theatrical landscape of experimentation.
