Beauty as Performance by Lily Myers-Cooke

Please join us for an exhibition of ceramics that interprets the creative collaborations between iconoclast Leigh Bowery and the dancer/ choreographer Michael Clark.

"They married punk and ballet and I wanted to explore a similar contrast in the vessels and objects I created for this exhibition." Myers-Cooke integrates classical pottery forms, like the amphora, and dresses these handbuilt vessels in unconventional color and shape. "And with this, the performance begins."

Meet Lily from 1-4pm for an opening reception on Saturday, November 7th.

LILY MYERS-COOKE (b.1993) is a Los Angeles-born, Philadelphia-based ceramics artist who constructs her work through a variety of handbuilding techniques.
