Abstract
The following paper details the conceptual underpinnings, art historical references, and vital-materialistic philosophy of the exhibition titled Mutants, installed in the Edgar Heap of Birds Family Gallery February 25, 2023. This exhibition consists of eleven ceramic objects that encompass a representative range between figurative sculpture, classical ornamentation and abstract gesture. By combining traditional ornamental motifs and representational figuration from western art history with intuitive, material based abstraction this exhibition explores how ontological certainties of the past mutate as they are appropriated across time, evolving to become increasingly alien.
