The Will to Proceed to the End of the Possible
Kneebone, Rachel
We’re working on releasing this image.
Rachel Kneebone’s extraordinary sculptures combine the expressive power of porcelain and its fragile nature. The surface is alive with sensuously modelled body parts emerging from torn and twisted porcelain. The cracks left by the artist remind us of the risks involved in firing porcelain and, perhaps, of our own vulnerability as humans.
