“I produce objects that are both recognizable and unfamiliar, whose apparent functionality ranges from ambiguous to hyper-specific, impractical, or exaggerated to absurdity.”

There’s only three more weeks to see The Material Image in our Functional Gallery🖼️

See how five Philadelphia artists find the connection between comics and ceramics exploring duplication, iteration, and repetition. “Throwing pot after pot, or drawing panel after panel, is how the artist masters their form. That repetition also conveys meaning to the viewer.”

On view are the ceramic collections and handmade zines from teaching artist Ian Petrie (Ian M Petrie) , Soso Capaldi (Soso Capaldi) , and Resident artists Celia Feldberg (Celia Feldberg Ceramics), Arista Wilson (Arista), and Jeremiah Ibarra (Jeremiah)

Free admission, 7 days a week.
