Her signature small-scale porcelain and earthenware pieces evoke a range of moods, incorporating surprising color and textures in her masterful deployment of ceramic techniques. In a gesture that veers toward iconoclasm, Butterly contorts traditional vessel forms, producing biomorphic, individualistic creations that seem to bend and fold. Every detail of a Butterly sculpture--from pools of orange glaze to pearlescent beads of clay--is an essential part of its composition. Published concurrently with Butterly's expansive exhibition at the Tang Museum, Assume Yes is a major monographic survey of her sculptural and ceramic work. It spans over 30 years and features color plates of more than 200 artworks from 1994 to a selection of brand-new pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Delmonico Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47882503880926,"sku":"9781636812182","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0153\/8133\/files\/9781636812182.jpg?v=1770305506","url":"https:\/\/store.portlandmuseum.org\/products\/kathy-butterly-assume-yes-by-kathy-butterly-forrest-gander-theodora-bocanegra-lang-nancy-princenthal-ian-berry","provider":"PMA Store at the Portland Museum of Art, Maine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
