Catalogue: Kathy Butterly

Kathy Butterly's quirky, colorful porcelain and earthenware objects pack unusual, cartoonish shapes and textures into pint-sized packages. Each of Butterly's cup-like vessels begins its existence as a symmetrical form cast in wet clay; she then manipulates these classically inspired pieces into curvaceous, slumping bodies with whimsical, finely detailed appendages. The sensuous folds, shadowy recesses, and slippery sheen of the glazed surfaces evoke an irreverent yet graceful sort of animation.
