The two artists from Berlin and Australia were guests at the Ceramic Artist House in April and May as part of the Ceramic Artist Exchange Tandem Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olivia Pils<\/strong> (Berlin) worked on two series titled \u201eCandy Boxes and Other Creatures\u201c during her time at the Keramikk\u00fcnstlerhaus. Each series, in its own way, places the human body at the center. The first series features several body-like objects crafted from modeled porcelain built using slab construction techniques. Fired in a gas kiln, the pieces now bear a greenish, cold sheen. The cool, refined aesthetic of porcelain is disrupted by the imperfect surface finishes and the addition of real human hair.
The second series is also made of porcelain: candy boxes. Stripped of their functionality, the playful shapes with pink and glittering surfaces tell stories about the body image within the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
