The World's a Mess; It's in My Kiss consists of several new installations and is the very first time that Polly Apfelbaum's ceramics have moved from the wall to the site of the floor. Polly began working in clay in 2010, which has become a critical component of her practice. Taking the form of hanging beads, layered glazed slabs, colourful rocks, mugs, sticks, and bowls, Polly explores the potential of ceramics through colour and form and pusehs them into new physical and conceptual sites. This new work responds to, references, and cycles back to Polly's forty-year career. Through her rigorous tracings of pattern and colour, The World's a Mess; Its in My Kiss acts as a collaborative road map creating infinite possibilities of complex geometry and moments of focused delight.
