UnfoldingUnfolding is a drama of contradictions.
It is darkness against light, a straight edge against a splash and a drip, a surprise at a random turn, a strong sharp shadow cutting a flash of sunlight. It is the tension between seeking control and giving in to what is natural.For this exhibition, the artist has crafted a theatre of contrasting dynamics. Of stillness and discipline with forms against expressive and gestural surfaces.
Angela Hayes’ ceramic sculptures originate from the study of the classic pouring vessel many years ago. The lip, the body, the foot, the spout, and the handle have evolved from wheel-thrown vessels to contemporary slab-made architectonic forms. Her work has departed from the functional constraints of the vessel and instead has become a receptacle for her artist’s voice.
