A PhD and the gift of doubt with Marianne Huhn

Since childhood Marianne Huhn has been a maker.

She has built a highly respected career creating functional porcelain works with drawn surface narratives.

In this conversation we discuss her distinct work, ideas and processes, her PhD at RMIT University, her artist residency experiences and being an artist with MS.

If you are wanting an insight into the creative life of one of Australia's most original, thoughtful, committed, and very funny artists, this is for you. I especially recommend this as important viewing if you are interested in finding out more about PhDs or even thinking of applying for one yourself.


You will find out about...

• Marianne’s PhD at RMIT University, Melbourne (2012-2016), titled Form and Surface Narrative -Porcelain and Politics in Soviet Union 1917-1925.
• The impact of her mentor Kevin White.
• The ins and outs of her PhD, Practice Led Research.
• Her very specific and fascinating subject of study, Russian Revolutionary Ceramics.
• How she navigated writing for her PhD, being someone for whom writing was not a strength, and the role of writing in her life now.
• A recent article she has written on Disability and Creativity, soon be published in the Journal of Australia Ceramics (link coming).
• Her artist residency experiences, including great info on her residency at Canberra Potters.
• Accessibility at artist residencies for artists with disabilities.

• And much more.

Thank you Marianne Huhn!
