“When I started making functional works of art, I knew I had found my calling. I found meaning in the humble act of making something useful. I like making each item a little different, hoping they turn a thoughtless consumption into something that makes us more aware and present. I feel like the message and humor is more subtle in my pots, but the moment in which they are used is more intimate and meaningful.”

Adaptations: Gestures for Survival by Mary McKenzie

by | Jun 15, 2011 | Uncategorized


This year’s winner of the Sheridan College Gardiner Museum Award, presents a solo exhibition and reception for Adaptations at the Gardiner Museum.

The show runs May 6 to July 10th
“In my site-specific installation Adaptations, I have constructed bricks, modeled figures and clay-dipped both organic and non-organic objects. The dipped objects are attached to the figures and fired as body-parts.

My ceramic process gravitates towards experimentation and material failure. The inherent fragility of ceramics translates into narrative in my work. Bricks are heavy objects, which in multiples can: shelter, protect, detain, demarcate, divide, collapse. Within this environment my figures adopt survival adaptations taken from industrial, natural and entertainment models, coping responses to an unpredictable world”
