Turns and Returns: Alison Britton and Johannes Nagel

As a pivotal figure in postmodern ceramics, British artist Alison Britton focuses on the juxtaposition in her vessels between what she calls prose objects and poetic objects; those that are active and those that are mainly contemplative. In creating her work, thought processes, material challenges, and uncertainties as to what firing will do to the work result in many turns along the way.

For German born Johannes Nagel, influences include the perfect imperfection of Japanese ceramics and the dramatic intensity of Abstract Expressionism. As starting points, or in returning to what previously inspired him, there are many turning points; decisions on the development of a body of work, live decisions as the work emerges. 

For both of these artist, these turns and returns challenge, provoke and inspire.
