“Time Goes By uses clay as a material vessel to convey the notion of time. It is representative of time through how long it took to make the forms, the use of time to control thickness in slip casting, and the slow, controlled time of the clay particles compressing as the forms dried.” — Isobel Carver.
Isobel received $10,000 to support her final year of study, along with the offer of 3-month paid internship at Mud Australia.

“These vessels all embody the female entities of the Mother, Maiden and the Crone which are personifications of the moon phases and together have been named the triple goddess. The clay used is unfiltered terracotta fired at 1150 to give the forms a deep red colour that is synonymous to the red earth of Australia, the clay brand is Bennetts which is sourced locally in SA.”— Sydelle Mullen.
Sydelle received $2,000 and the offer of 3-month paid internship at Mud Australia.
