Ekin Balcıoğlu, Max Massey, & Em Kettner present The Mortal Coil, a group exhibition of sgraffito vases and ceramic tile vignettes that tell stories of transformation and creation while touching on traditions like pottery in ancient Greece and quilting in the American South. Em Kettner's series of ceramic tiles inlaid in wood ground the exhibition with the story of a potter at work. Taos-based ceramic duo Ekin Balcıoğlu & Max Massey present a collection of vessels that reframe male-dominated mythologies. Together, these works demonstrate contemporary craft's role in recording history and interpreting mythologies.
Special thanks to François Ghebaly & Max Massey for their help in making this show a reality.
