Jennifer Forti will be showing her latest ceramic sculptures. Whimsy and an off kilter sense of humor inhabit her pieces. Forti explains that her work is inspired by "circus-charged" images, as if her sculptures live under a circus tent. Disembodied heads, parts of figures, anatomical hearts, egg-like thrones and lots of stripes seem to be her themes. Bright colors and white crackle glazes give texture and depth to these hand built constructions. One sculpture, a three legged figure with metal casters as feet, supports a half egg shape with a nestled disembodied head which leaves the viewer to wonder at it's expression.
