South African ceramic artist Katherine Glenday’s porcelain works explore the contrasts of organic textures on soft skin-like surfaces. These elegant and delicate pieces seem paper-light in appearance, almost as if they would float away and break in a light breeze defying the materiality of the porcelain. Glenday manages this by stretching the porcelain to its thinnest, most translucent state which enjoins light and the perception of movement bringing into view her artistic eye and technical dexterity. They are part of the Rationalities exhibition in the Master Craftsmen’s Galley at Les Atelier Courbet, NY.
