About the Item

"Plate" is a ceramic plate by Wayne Fischer, a Milwaukee artist living in France.

The sculptures of Wayne Fischer go beyond words. They are an experience to be lived. Their forms undulate in space, animated by their own energy, pieces without any beginning or end of an expanding material that appears liable to retract suddenly and be swallowed up by the void, that black hole which they each have inside them and which silently contemplates the spectator. Like any work that speaks via gut feelings rather than going via the head, Fischer's triggers strong feelings among audiences, who either accept it or reject it, instinctively.
