Chrystie Longworth employs ceramic forms to engage with narratives of femininity, identity, and domesticity. Working mostly with terracotta and pigments, glaze is often set aside to highlight the matte, tactile quality of the clay surface and the subtle play of light as it caresses the curves of each sculpture. Rendered in alluring colours the works are strangely seductive, some are stacked and some cluster in groups, attempting to lure the viewer by means of a visual feast.
Chrystie’s ceramics are a meditation on the pressures to conform. Often installed in intimate groups, they call for a reassessment of values, suggesting that meaningful connections and shared experiences hold greater significance than the superficial ideals often promoted in contemporary culture.
Based in regional NSW, on Dharawal Country, Chrystie’s ceramics have been shown in various Australian galleries such as Michael Reid, MARS Gallery, Saint Cloche and Sturt Gallery and her functional pieces have been sold through the design stores of the Australian Design Centre, the National Art Gallery and Boom Gallery.
In 2024, Chrystie was the winner of the Sabbia Exhibition Prize, the N.E. Pethebridge Ceramic Award and the Australian Ceramics Association Prize. She was also a finalist in the National Emerging Art Prize.

Continue readingHarvey Galleries was founded by the Harvey family in 1994 with an eye to establish a dynamic and inclusive contemporary art space on the North Shore of Sydney. For almost three decades we have expanded our reach to over three gallery locations and an ever expanding stable of the best artists Australia has to offer.
Harvey Galleries acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which our galleries stand. The Guringai people (Seaforth), the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation (Sydney), and the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation (Melbourne).
We pay our respect to Elders past and present.
