Thin Skinned – Extraordinary Ceramics by Z
Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub
We welcome back Turangi artist Z for his second exhibition of ceramic works that hold their breath. Artist Z presents Thin Skinned, a solo exhibition of stunning brutalist ceramics. His work concerns modern perceptions through a prism of fragility, tension, balance and negative space.
Fresh from a string of award successes, these sculptural pieces balance on the edge delicate yet strong-Handle with care, even with your eyes!
