Outside In, Improvisations of Space: The Ceramic Work of Mapo Kinnord

New Orleans artist MaPo Kinnord cares little for what ceramic art is "supposed to be". Her large scale sculptures test all of the boundaries of her medium, pushing the limits of clay's malleability, its strength, its function. She irreverently adds in assemblage, collage, light, painting, and drawing and revels in the practice of experimentation. For, her it is so much more about the process, the physical joy of using her hands. Her new exhibition at the Ogden Museum of Art Outside In, Improvisations of Space illustrate her process of exploration, of three-dimensional drawings, her evidence of creation. ogdenmuseum.org.
