Mindy Horn, Amphora IV, USA, 2024

Creator: Mindy Horn
Offered by: Todd Merrill Studio

Description
Mindy Horn’s non-functional vessels, purposely thrown off center, appear to have grown and weathered organically. The surfaces of the vessels, crusty or cracked, emphasize their crooked, uneven forms. While their appearance seems to contradict porcelain’s typical convention of perfection, it is the material’s strength and elasticity that allows Horn to give each vessel its uniqueness. The extensive alteration of surface texture and the addition of hand built elements result in vessels that speak about time and how things grow beyond their beginnings.

The Amphora Series is the latest body of work from artist Mindy Horn. Horn’s contemporary porcelain take on the classical Ancient Greek vessels results in a series of whimsical, organic forms. Free form flowers in 24K gold leaf are hand painted by the artist in an intuitive and unconstrained style.

In Horn’s hands the imperfect becomes more significant than the perfect, asking the viewer to examine what is common in all of us and to celebrate the complexity of our differences.
