If you know my functional work then you’ll know that I’m really interested in the relationship between the handmade and industrial ceramics. I try with my work to bridge the “gap” that exists, in our relationship to, interaction with and the design possibilities of both the handmade and the industrial.
So I’m super excited to see a show such as Object Factory: The Art of Industrial Ceramics (currently at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York) online with lots of yummy pictures to inspire. There’s an amazing list of artist/designers in the show, too many to name, but it was curated by Mark Cecula so you know it’ll be good. So take some time, grab a cup of tea and check it out here.
Then please check out our show at the Harris Warke Gallery. I think it should be pretty great, the other artists in the show have some truly fantastic pieces!
Cheers!
This exhibition addresses the processes of approaching the human figure through different media, through different styles, through different techniques. All of these methods are translated through a universal awareness of and concern for the human condition. The artists interface through the sharing of that sensitivity and that sense of community. June J. Jacobs uses hand felted raw wool and mixed media for her vestal-like sculptures. Anita Rocamora sculpts her forms and figurative works in terracotta and porcelain.
Join us for the opening reception: Wednesday, April 8, 7-9 pm
Show continues to May 16.

From the Pomme website:
Opening on Friday 3 April “Little Un’s”. Ceramic works by three Queensland Potters, Mel Robson, Kenji Uranishi and Shannon Garson. The brief for this group show was ‘keep it small’and the artists were only too happy to oblige with a series of exquisite, but perfectly functional cups,jugs and vessels. On show until 24 April 2009.
