viewable from William Street, Darlinghurst.
Inspired by Renaissance apothecary jars (or albarellos),
Sassy Park’s pots use similar maiolica glaze techniques
and motifs, linking the current Covid-19 pandemic to history.

newly developed pharmaceutical vaccines, controversial
cures and pandemic messaging.

of the darkness: A survivor's journey
