'Delicate Decisions' at Cohen Gallery

"Delicate Decisions" is a two-person show featuring the functional ceramics of recent College of Ceramics graduates Luc Hammond-Thomas and Jess Detweiler.

In her work, Detweiler employs a playful attraction to form, volume, color, and elegance. The still-life, genre style display evokes fantasies about future domestic use.

Hammond-Thomas' work acts on the fundamental relationship between pottery and furniture, and how this pairing further expands each material's function. The work embraces the latent duality of

functional objects as sculpture.
