Samantha Mackie is a Sydney based artist who predominantly works with porcelain to create delicate sculptures driven by linear forms. She holds a Diploma in Ceramics and was selected as Diploma Graduate of the year 2024.

Some pieces take the form of abstract grids; others explore the linear rhythms of landscapes and built environments. Every work is built to consider the interplay of light and shadow that shift continually throughout day. Generally left unglazed to highlight the beauty of porcelain, they are formed from fine porcelain slabs, built up through hundreds of brushstrokes. The firing process subtly distorts each piece, making the balance between her intent and the kiln’s unpredictably an essential part of the final form. Recently she has been exploring using silver and copper in her sculptures. Samantha’s work has been selected for the Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize 2020, Little Things Art Prize 2019. Most recently her Gridline series was selected for the Ravenswood Art Prize 2025.

Walking into an old shearing shed in Binda, NSW, I was struck by the beautiful light and the linear rhythms of worn timber floors, fences, and gates. The Following the Lines, Chasing the Shadows series draws from that moment -distilling lines and shadows into sculptural forms that rest on surfaces or hang on walls, casting new shadows of their own.
