Featured Artist Poster: Phoebe Collings-James, Mudbelly, 2019

This is the Featured Artist Poster for Phoebe Collings-James' first collection of ceramics, Mudbelly, presented at Picture Room September 21–October 13, 2019. Mudbelly is the ceramic gut of artist Phoebe Collings-James. A transformative, yard art sculpture space for her tender, haptic objects. Mudbelly manifests as a collection of wheel thrown pots and vessels inspired by cephalopods suckers and dry rattling poppy pods. In the dynamic act of throwing on the wheel, a silent but forceful negotiation takes place in which the artist wrestles with notions of life and death.

The Picture Room graphic identity, designed by Benjamin Critton, nods to the rectangle as the historic mode of art-making, using classical proportions to enact various iterations of the Golden Ratio.
