Ceramic artists explore perception and obsession in new exhibitions and publications

A new exhibition titled 'Melting Point' is currently on view at the Craft & Folk Art Museum. The show features work by Morgan, whose recent creations move toward what is described as lovingly perverse caricature. Another artist, Annabeth Rosen, has contributed a trippy offering to the Summer of Love for Ceramics. Meanwhile, Darren Jones reflects on the elemental work and personality of an English ceramicist. A separate exhibition at Sikkema Jenkins & Co. has opened, prompting a look back at a retrospective held last year at Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art. Additionally, a new book, 'The White Road: Journey into an Obsession', has been released. The artists involved utilize ceramics and painting to alter perceptions of space and objects.
