I met Jennifer King and her ceramics for the first time last night, August 10, at The Pit gallery in Los Angeles, CA. Her works are part of the group show Wild Range—on view through September 2024. There couldn’t have been a better day for the encounter.

Notes, intuitions, markings on an extroverted surface of clay.

In these dramatic assemblies of clay tablets, the raw greenware acts as a seismograph recording signs, icons, lacerations, and caresses carved in liquid blue engobe.

Studio Exhibition | On view July 26 – 27, 2024 | Opening reception Friday July 26th, 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm

July 26, 2024, Los Angeles, California—The exhibition Raw Marks by Livio Stabile explores the corporeal context of the creative act. The three works invite meditation on how the body orients itself in space: Bearings opens to the multiplicity of directions and choices, Eyes witnesses to the otherness in ourselves, and My Right Hand demonstrates how the human body intervenes in reality to alter things for its own purposes.
