Sydney artist Michael Keighery (born 1949) died earlier this month, following a bout of COVID. His death has hit hard for the sector, which knew Keighery to be a great academic, thinker, advocate and artist.
“Michael Keighery was one of the greatest thought provocateurs of his generation,” wrote a Mansfield Ceramics spokeperson upon hearing the news, in a tribute shared by the World Craft Council of Australia (WCCoA).
