My practice incorporates a range of methods, from throwing to hand building \u2014 joining these combinations slowly together to form something unique and ambiguous.<\/p>\n<p>What kind of inspirations go into your work?<br \/>\nI think my inspiration comes from most things I see and experience in everyday life. It\u2019s a personal and therapeutic journey for me. I love nature, and the ocean has been a huge part of my life, and a core inspiration. Music, literature and cooking has also influenced me heaps. I find it all intriguing, and it allows me to make something different with my work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horizonfestival.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WGP_6961.jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" alt=\"Jack Staley working with his hands\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horizonfestival.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WGP_6871.jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" alt=\"jack Staley studio\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horizonfestival.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/8a.jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"947\" alt=\"jack Staley art\"><\/p>\n<p>In what space do you like to create most?<br \/>\nI work mostly from my studio in Sunshine Beach. I like hearing the ocean and zoning out while listing to music. I like to create alone and not have many distractions whilst I&#8217;m in the making process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What has been your favourite or most important work to date?<br \/>\nMy favourite, or most important finished piece, is probably called, \u2018Light house\u2019. It reminds me of Double Island point \u2014 a special place I loved visiting growing up \u2014 and was a finalist in the North Queensland Ceramic Awards, 2020. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horizonfestival.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WGP_6982.jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" alt=\"Jack Staley in his studio working\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horizonfestival.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/10a.jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"955\" alt=\"Jack Staley piece\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horizonfestival.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Jack_Staley_1.jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"1207\" alt=\"Jack Staley piece\"><\/p>\n<p>To see more of Jack&#8217;s work, head across to his&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jackstaley__\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horizonfestival.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WGP_6912.jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" alt=\"jack Staley studio\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horizonfestival.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/STALEY_jack_0.jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"858\" alt=\"Jack Staley piece\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Who are you and what do you create?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy name is Jack Staley, and live and work in the Noosa area.
