Mindy Horn and Ann Mallory contribute to the rich tradition of ceramic art with vibrant and original expressions in clay. Their works vary in size: some are delicately small, inviting close-up inspection, while others are imposing in scale.
These technically and aesthetically ambitious works are experimental in shape and dazzle in an array of glazes. Horn and Mallory will speak about their work on view in the exhibition Line and Volume: Ceramics by Mindy Horn and Ann Mallory. Horn and Mallory’s talk will take place at 3:00 p.m. in the Modern and Contemporary Gallery. DeRocco at cderocco@alz. org or call 203-623-5407.
