MORE than 80 artists will showcase their work at an exhibition in Dianella this month.
Artist Graham Hay, whose studio is in Northbridge, said a piece of his pottery or sculpture work can take up to 30 years to compete, with all his experience culminating in one piece of art.
“I started these ones towards the end of one year and ran out of steam about a third into the next year so four months of evolution,” he said.
