PALOMA WALL: NEW RELICS

Elephant Gallery / 1411 Buchanan St. February 7 - 28th (Reception: February 7 6:00pm - 9:00pm)

Paloma Wall

Elephant Gallery is happy to welcome Paloma Wall back to the gallery for New Relics, a solo exhibition of recent ceramic work.

Wall uses handbuilding techniques (coiling, pinching, extruding, and rolling slabs of clay) to create vessels and other forms that deal with embedded memories of her childhood and the process of grieving.

Wall’s work is intimately related to the human body. It is pierced and painted, curved, rounded and both fragile and robust. It mirrors human emotion, especially the feeling of emptiness that accompanies loss. The beauty of these forms comes from their resilience - their ability to withstand and be shaped by their history.
