A collaboration – Panagiotis (Panos) Couros, Music/Sound and Nicholas Peter Comino, Visual Art

Panagiotis (Panos) Couros is a sound artist and ceramicist working at the intersection of tactile materials, immersive sound environments, and field recording. His installations include AmphiSonic, an ambisonic work for the World Science Festival Brisbane, and Omphalos for the Greek Festival of Sydney. With over two decades of experience in sound design for theatre and dance, his practice focuses on creating site-responsive works that activate space through listening, material resonance, and embodied experience, often integrating ceramic forms as sound-emitting or acoustically responsive objects.

Nicholas Peter Comino is a respected Australian visual artist and ceramicist whose work explores memory, place, and landscape through a lyrical and abstract visual language. With a career spanning more than three decades, he has presented solo exhibitions including Afterimage, Another Land Measure, and Places of Resolution, and has exhibited widely in significant group shows. His work has been reviewed in Eyeline and The Review Independent Monthly, and he lives and works near Uki, NSW.

Metaxi / Synora is a collaborative interdisciplinary project by Panos Couros and Nick Comino, two second-generation Greek-Australian gay male artists whose practices meet at the thresholds of ceramics, sound, language, and identity. The project explores the vessel as both object and metaphorical body, where cultural hybridity, queer embodiment, and ancestral memory converge. Coming to ceramics later in life, both artists bring mature practices from other disciplines: Couros from immersive sound and spatial listening, Comino from painting, mark-making, and gesture. Through clay, sound, and inscription, Metaxi / Synora gives form to lived experience—borders crossed, histories carried, and identities held— embodied in resonant ceramic forms that speak through touch, silence, and voice.
