About the Item

The Worry This series began in reaction to photos of politicians and world leaders during any number of the current world crises. As news cycles proliferate, these images swirl past the viewer. They are more glimpsed than studied. There is a disconnect between official performance and consequential anxiety. Mounted on metal stands, these diminutive ceramic heads seem at first to be in a position of honor. Looking closer, unspoken thoughts are expressed by way of the specific glaze and the unique form of each work. Viewed at eye level, yet fitting in the palm of the hand, these worried portraits are both monumental and intimate. Winifred McNeill works in a range of materials and textural surfaces that seek to uncover poignant narratives often suggested by the physical substance itself. Building on a solid foundation of craft and traditional studio skills, she is comfortable drawing from ancient sources as with contemporary references. Working at the intersection of sculpture, ceramics, found-object assemblage, painting and drawing, Winifred exhibits in national and international venues and her work is held in private and public collections including Rutgers University, the New York Public Library; the University of Delaware Rare Books and Special Collections, and Columbia University Rare Books Department.
