| | | Still Life, Still Lives: The bold forms that Michael Geertsen constructs are provocative and idea- rather than practical-based. Assembled from dismantled items of tableware, Geertsen moves these homely forms from the draining board to the collecting cabinet. They are a sort of still life, drawing attention to what Norman Bryson evocatively calls 'the overlooked'. Edmund de Waal reports. |
|
| Market Forces: Is Jonathan Keep a sculptor who makes tableware – or is he a potter who makes sculpture? In this six-page feature, Bonnie Kemske reveals he is both. The pots that Keep makes are intended to be used; the shapes are clean and uncluttered, the decoration lively but minimal – objects to enjoy as well as to enhance the experience of eating. |
