Description: Featuring twenty-four international artists coming to clay from a variety of backgrounds, Body and Soul: New International Ceramics underscores the power of the figure to convey strong emotions, and to promote the accessibility of the ceramic medium. Through clay the figure becomes the catalyst for addressing the emotional impact of contemporary pressure that confront our society today. Each work, inspired by a personal incident or symbolic tale, expresses a deep emotional identity, contrasting societal, political, and personal views on themes such as anxiety, bias, mortality and memory.
Notes: "Published in conjunction with the exhibition Body & Soul: New International Ceramics, organized by Wendy Tarlow Kaplan and Martin S. Kaplan and the Museum of Arts and Design September 17, 2013-March 2, 2014."
