Katherine Younger Presents Autumn Ceramics
at Brookline Arts Center Gallery
The Brookline Arts Center is proud to exhibit "Autumn Ceramics", Ceramics by Katherine Younger from October 11 through November 10, 2006. Younger's work is combines rigorously modern abstract shapes with the organic and accidental colors that result from Saggar and Raku firing techniques. The resulting works bring together the esthetics of mid-century modernism with a Japanese-inspired love of accident and irregularity.
