Whether molten rock or child’s play, the artist in Hot Lava utilize the material specificities and chemical changes of clay and glaze to probe phenomenological possibilities. An exhibition in five acts, each artist’s solo presentation delves deeply into their work over time or in series. Sizzling hot pots act as playgrounds for steaming glazes while perforations, deformations, and transections disobey structure. These artists’ fantastical alchemies of elemental earth melt, drool, and burn.
