This collection of ceramic sculptures by Colleen Dwyer Meloche explores the idea of unravelling. Ceramic vessels contain histories and serve rituals which bring meaning to our collective experiences. These works investigate the interplay of nature and culture as they unfold notions of balance and belonging. Made with paper clay, this collection of vessels blurs the line between place and purpose, seen and unseen. Paper clay subverts the meaning of “thin places” as points of weakness to prove a place of mysterious possibility.
Each sculpture is constructed with loose strips of clay around crumpled newspaper. The precarious and intuitive handwork creates tension that both invites and forbids the viewer entry into what it is and how it is used—the ribbon-like strips of clay reference delicate systems, material versatility and elements of collage.
