Minneapolis, Minnesota artist Liz Sexton creates sculptures that blur the line between the animal kingdom and human life. Working with paper mâché, a medium she prefers for its versatility and accessibility, Sexton creates large masks of fish, birds, and mammals that are meant to be worn. Accompanying these works are photographs and video depicting humans wearing these masks in natural, as well as urban, environments. The works often feature fauna that are facing threat, such as marine life, and sheds light on the displacement from their natural habitat that many animals experience as they are forced to live in our human world.

“On the Surface” features 16 porcelain vessels from Hitomi Hosono, a ceramic artist based in London, England. Her detailed porcelain vessels, which reference the natural world and botanical specimens, grace the collections of the British Museum and Victoria and Albert Museum. Hosono’s work brings intuition, delicacy and an intuitive touch to her intricate floral creations etched in chalky white clay. Inspired by internationally lauded Wedgwood’s Jasperware, pioneered by Josiah Wedgwood over 200 years ago, in which thin ceramic reliefs or ‘sprigs’ were applied as surface decoration to a piece, Hosono details the veins of a leaf branch and how its edges are shaped to create a poetics in ceramics only the Japanese heritage and mastery of English ceramic tradition can offer.
