Mindy Horn’s ceramic “Garden Tondo” revisits elements most often seen in her vessels, which are notable for their imperfections, appearing to have grown and then weathered organically. With her most recent ceramic wall medallion, a multitude of individual floral specimens converge into an unexpected baroque composition. Each tiny, hand-formed component’s individuality is lost within the larger picture. Incorporating subtle variations in the treatment of the delicate porcelain pieces, such as glazing, bisque firing, the application of powdery mason stain, or firing with a gold luster overglaze, creates a complex, glimmering landscape across the surface. Similarly, the lifting of each tiny composition off of the solid...

Todd Merrill Studio has represented artist John Procario since 2016. Having grown up around his carpenter father’s workshop, Procario entered the world of art and design with a well defined love of woodworking and a distinct vision inspired by his reverence for the material’s possibilities and limitations. Starting with his Freeform Series, and later translating and taking inspiration from this series to develop new works, Procario has continued to produce elegant, contemporary, and minimalistic designs that capture its audiences emotionally through sensation and observation. ? While studying sculpture in graduate school, Procario developed a unique aesthetic that began with the notion of wood as metaphor for the human body. “I would describe my work as having a heartbeat,” says Procario. “Each one has so much personality. As you move around them, the forms appear to shift and change. Just as we push the limits of our bones and muscles, I enjoy pushing the limits of wood to create a sense of strain in the material’s gesture,” Procario further elaborates. By pushing the limit of breakage, Procario creates a sense of strain in the otherwise fluid gestures of his works. Conceptually, this reveals beauty to be the product of stress. ? This evocation of the human form found throughout his Freeform Series can also be found in his recent furniture...

Haase refined his sculpting practice studying under Europe’s preeminent masters of stone carving, restoring centuries-old Gothic cathedrals across Northern Germany for over a decade. These experiences, combined with his fresh and impressive eye for design, allow Haase to create his dynamic, expressive works. Haase demonstrates his sculpting virtuosity through his designs that imbue wood and stone with a remarkable sense of fluidity and movement. Carved wood assumes qualities of drapery, while marble suggests energy and vigor. His dynamic sculptural lighting defines a new artistry for the twenty-first century, managing to sculpt light itself. As Todd Merrill describes, “Markus Haase...
