Tegan Koster

 

Tegan Koster is a Cairns-based, contemporary ceramicist. All pieces are wheel thrown and uniquely detailed with hand-drawn faces depicting turn of the 20th century poet, Edith Sitwell. 

Having recently discovered a familial link with Edith Sitwell, Tegan depicts simple line drawings of the poet at different stages of her life. 

 “I had the desire to celebrate the greatness of this literary giant by depicting her image across the pots. During her life, Edith’s image and expression of style laid bare her stark regalia and her bold opposition to the idea of ‘fitting in’. As a strong symbol of authority, eccentricity and humour, I wanted to illustrate her likeness on functional ware surfaces” Tegan Koster

Of the North, For the North

We work to support artists achieve their aspirations. Artists set their prices and we add a standard service and marketing commission - this supports our not-for-profit programs and allows us to continually turn over the highest-quality artistic products.

Most artworks are one-offs and completely original in the iconic style of that artist; with the exception of intaglio and relief prints, which the organisation is renowned for. Check out our selection of limited-edition fine art printmaking.

Over 95% of the artists we support are from North Queensland. We work with both independent artists and those represented by commercial dealers and art centres.
