Statement

The idea behind Material was to continue the contemporary contextualization of clay as any other sculptural medium. Through this idea we wanted to also expose the unlimited potential of clay and the profound relationships created when other materials are incorporated. Also as an underlying theme we wanted to explore the use of multiples as a trend in ceramic sculpture today. In this show, systems, cycles, transformation and ritual are some of the artists concepts generated through the use of the multiple. With this work, the four both established and emerging artists, all reflect these contemporary philosophies and non-traditional approaches.
