Karen Swyler’s elegant porcelain ceramics are both understated and eloquent. While they may reference the vessel, their altering and pairing speak volumes about relationships.  Swyler, who received her MFA in Ceramics from University of Colorado-Boulder, returns to Colorado for this solo exhibition at Plinth Gallery.

Erin Furimsky’s  ceramic constructions are entirely hand-built from soft slabs of clay, using the inherent plasticity to deftly expand and swell her pieces, creating her signature curvaceous forms. Using a combination of decorative techniques to include carving, glazing, and ceramic decals, she builds layers of color and pattern on the surface.

There is something comfortable and soothing in the forms she creates. While only abstractions, her gentle swellings easily reference things familiar to everyone. Erin Furimsky’s work is sensual, inviting the viewer to touch or caress the surface and explore individual interpretation. 

 First Friday Gallery Opening February 5, 6-9pm. 

 "Traversing the Familiar" will be on display through February 28.
