Contemporary Ceramics (Softcover)

This book celebrates the many wonderful sculptural ceramicists from around the country who are all utilizing the medium in their own unique ways.

“Many of the artists directly address the human form, using their works as an opportunity to address the variety of elements that are implicit with the human condition. Tip Toland’s highly expressive masks capture a wide range of feelings, while Michelle Gregor’s luscious glazes lend her figures a dreamy and abstracted impression. Margaret Keelan deftly sculpts trompe l’oeil works that force viewers to contemplate the fragility of life. Other artists such as Esther Shimazu and Beth Lo incorporate their personal and ethnic backgrounds into their works; both include objects and symbols of their respective cultures.” - John Natsoulas
