House & Garden

“House & Garden” is a two-artist exhibition of all new works by Lily Clark and Analuisa Corrigan. Conceived as a singular installation, the show welcomes viewers into a home of domestic items rendered in clay by Corrigan and a garden of working ceramic fountains by Clark, complimented by live plant vignettes created by Alice Lam of A.L. BASA. In recontextualizing the familiar, the artists invite a moment of pause to reengage our senses and reconsider our relationship to often overlooked elements of the everyday, both domestic and elemental. Corrigan creates organic, figurative forms that unite material exploration and personal expression. She is preoccupied with clay’s inherent qualities and characteristics, and the ways in which these can be negotiated — often through a generative process of trial and error. Corrigan’s pieces are deceptively labor intensive, taking up to a month to make. After sketching and prototyping, each is carefully built up through a coil technique, then dried and sanded to achieve the desired silhouette. The resulting work feels simultaneously robust and delicate. For “House & Garden,” Corrigan has developed a series of domestic-inspired objects, including a ceramic chair, side tables, mirror, floor lamp, and floral arrangement. They will be staged as part of a living room, complete with rug, wooden table, and a TV.
