Milton Moon has been a ceramist for more than 50 years and has been both a lecturer and practising potter. His work is in all major ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n collections. Moon's work shows an intersection of European and Asian influences. His creative inspirations are drawn from ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥'s coastal, mountain and inland areas. This platter illustrates how Moon's work can evoke a powerful sense of ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n landscape, with its rich blackish brown base infused with opalescent splashes. It is difficult to do justice to the shimmering quality of this artwork in a photograph, so please visit the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥'s Barr Smith Library to view the piece yourself. The ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ has three of Moon's artworks in its Visual Arts Collection. Moon's Mandala incorporates the ancient Chinese Yin-Yang symbol, symbolising male/female, and light/dark. This work can be seen in the Library's Special Collections Reading Room. The third piece is an untitled ceramic pot. Anna Gardner, Collections Officer, Art & Heritage Collections
