The sculptures by Paul Hayes occupy both courtyards of the La Trobe University Visual Arts Centre. 

Hayes says his current exploration of form and texture in paper clay are “…an extension of [his] past inquiry into collage/assemblage: the immediacy of the material stimulating creative energies.” His 12 formative years in Japan consistently influence his aesthetic responses and a lifetime of creative industry is mirrored in the firing of the material.

Also showing at the VAC: Form, Subjectivity, Paradox by Denise Green and Desiring the Undesirable by Maree Santilla.
