Garden Tondo, US
About the Item
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 ground allows for subtle shadows that appear to flutter. While their appearance seems to contradict porcelain’s typical convention of perfection, it is the material’s strength and elasticity that allows Horn to give each component its uniqueness. In Horn’s hands the imperfect becomes more significant than the perfect, asking the viewer to examine what is common in all of us and to celebrate the complexity of our differences.
Porcelain, with Mason Stains, clear glaze and 22k gold luster; on painted wood panel
