Kate Butler: Windless Night

Windless Night centres on a body of ceramic sculptures that take inspiration from the stillness, light and movement of the night sky, as well as archetypal landmarks by which one orients oneself in space.

Large-scale sculptures traditionally have been used as land-marks and place-makers; at a small scale, references to such motifs speak to the personal act of grounding and orientation. A lunar landscape of forms, the sculptures are visually united by faceted surfaces which incise shadows and hold and reflect light.
