Query and Repose: Jack Earl and Tip Toland
1 February – 24 February 2008
Jack Earl uses art historical references to create satirical and often humorous ceramic works. Earl’s works are in the collections of the American Craft Museum in New York, The Kohler Collection and other public and private collections. Tip Toland’s works refer to her relationship with the unseen, ineffable aspects of the human psyche that are universal amongst us. Allegorical and dreamlike, her work is extremely contemplative and intimate, with this sense of intimacy heightened through the physical presence of the materials used. Toland emphasizes drawing as a tool for generating ideas that can then be brought to life through ceramics. Works on loan by Tip Toland are provided courtesy of Nancy Margolis Gallery, New York.
