Entering the fifth decade of his career, critically acclaimed English ceramist and writer Edmund de Waal imbues his porcelain works with traces of human intervention. De Waal throws “wobbly” pots, vessels and cylinders, subverting the preciousness of the medium and the works it traditionally begot. This approach encourages a consideration of tactility, a sense overlooked in the modern history of porcelain, perhaps due to its smooth, often pristine surfaces. Internationally recognized, De Waal’s work is held in the permanent collections of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam; the Museum of Arts and Design, New York; and the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, among others.
