This is a fabulously illustrated monograph exploring the work of acclaimed contemporary ceramics artist Kathy Venter Born in South Africa and now living and working in Canada, Kathy Venter is a celebrated ceramic artist internationally recognized for her life-size figurative sculptures. The artist's dialogues with time, with femininity, with community, and with intercultural understanding capture the continuity of the human condition. Unlike many sculptors who use terracotta as a preparatory tool, Venter uses it as a primary medium and has developed a unique hand-building method to sculpt without the use of moulds or armatures. This monograph features dozens of new and recent works and is the first publication dedicated to Venter's artistic practice. This publication marks the museum's commitment to the study of contemporary art.
