Description: Based on the seventh instalment of the biennial Renwick Invitational, this striking volume, presents the work of Steven Young Lee, Kristen Morgin, Jennifer Trask, and Norwood Viviano. The four selected artists work in a remarkable variety of media including porcelain, raw clay, bone, gold, glass, metal, found objects and mineral pigments. Their visual sensibilities draw on sources ranging from traditional Asian pottery to vintage Americana, and from the romance of the Victorian Era to the algorhythmic precision of the computer. Together, they engage a current fascination in American craft with change, transformation, ruin, and reinvention.00Exhibition: Smithsonian American Art Museum, Renwick Gallery, Washington, USA (09.09.2016 - 16.01.2017).
Notes: Published in conjunction with exhibition at the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington DC, September 9 2016-January 8, 2017.
