Join us at Irving Street Projects Fri Dec 30 5-8pm to celebrate the culmination of "Useful Irrationalities", an ever-changing, ritualistic installation of hundreds of wheel-thrown ceramic vessels by San Francisco-based artist Julie Cloutier. Cloutier’s sculptures evoke both an ancient and modernist aesthetic and technique. Her works highlight the natural beauty of the dense, rock-like nature of her material when it is fired to its maturation temperature, through a process that historically dates back thousands of years. For this project Cloutier has developed a specific language of wheel-thrown shapes and characters according to the naturally occurring variance of color and texture of the clay. A series of limited edition prints made in collaboration with The Aesthetic Union accompanies the exhibition.
