This exhibition introduces a new body of work by ceramic artist Avital Sheffer. Sheffer's work investigates themes of mythology, religion and language and is informed by her Middle-Eastern and Jewish heritage. While reflecting upon ancient civilizations, the idiosyncratic forms and refined surfaces of the vessels ground them firmly in the contemporary. Sheffer's forms are contained and voluptuous, architectural and anthropomorphic, layered with details and levels of meaning. Combining hand-forming techniques with a unique printing practice, Sheffer has created a coherent family of vessels narrating a story of community and of solitude.
