“The ceramic vessels in Return to Form strike a delicate balance between symmetry and ornamentation inspired by traditional Chinese and Greek pottery and the decorative elements of Etruscan Revival jewelry. As functional as they are sculptural, each vessel is created with the lived environment in mind. The infusion of foundational ceramic forms with contemporary, rhythmic ornamental motifs, creates a timeless effect, balancing the scales of art history and human experience.

In dialogue with the present as much as the ancient past, the pieces in the exhibition originate conceptually from the mental pressures and uncertainty of modern life. For Nwosu, pottery presents an opportunity to get out of her head, using her practice as a method of making sense of the world with her hands. Return to Form offers viewers this grounding experience of embodied calm and reflection.

AG Nwosu is a ceramic artist living and working in San Francisco, California. She has recently exhibited at San Francisco Art Fair, Glass Rice, and re.riddle. Return to Form is her first solo exhibition.”
