Inside Outside Sculpture Plinth
Michelle Carr Wishes | Until 31 March 2025
Painted Steel
'Wishes' evokes a sense of magic and possibility, capturing the enchanting moments when hopes and dreams blend with the fluid, swirling patterns of the genie bottles. Each swirl represents the unfolding of personal desires, hidden in the delicate forms of porcelain, inviting viewers to connect with their own wishes as they engage with the art.
Michelle Carr is an emerging ceramic artist based in Cremorne, whose practice is deeply informed by personal experiences of grief, loss, and transformation. In 2015, her husband Major Matthew Carr, passed away aged 38 years, after serving in the Australian Army for 19 years. At the time their son was two and daughter was just three months old. A former corporate communications professional, Michelle turned to ceramics as an expressive outlet to explore the quiet, yet profound emotions embedded in her life’s journey. She specialises in delicate porcelain forms and marbling to create one-of-a-kind pieces. Her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions in Sydney and Melbourne.
Visit the Inside Outside Sculpture Plinth in Ted Mack Civic Park day or night.

Say Something Posters | Celebrating Pride | Community Connection Kindness
During Pride Month 2024, Council invited local queer artist Cameron Stead to develop two creative activities at Stanton Library. The activations celebrated the essence of Pride by fostering creativity and self-reflection, centred on the themes of Communities, Connections and Kindness. Participants were invited to use their voices to share their identities, express gratitude, and communicate ideas that matter to them.
Postcards of Gratitude asked participants to design and write a postcard to someone or something they appreciated. Drawing inspiration from the rich history of protest art within the LGBTQIA+ rights movement, Say Something Posters invited participants to create posters about important things they wanted to share with others.
This exhibition features some of the Say Something Posters created by the community
The InTransit Community Art Space is located at Level 1 Council Chambers, 200 Miller Street, North Sydney (access via ground floor Customer Customer Service) open 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday except public holidays.
