White enamel and a little chrome glimmer from the dumpster. Lumber scrap balances in tentative stacks by the curb. Bent sheet metal fractures color across asphalt shingles and ceramic tile. Cardboard softens in the humidity. These discarded fragments — once hidden within walls, beneath floors, behind fixtures — surface, briefly untethered from their purpose. On the grey felt of my table, they become part image, part evidence. I consider what holds a house together, what breaks down, and who tends to the aftermath.

ABOUT HER WORK

Roundabout is a small study of a familiar form. The circle is easy to overlook but relied upon everyday. I'm drawn to its subtle presence and the many meanings it carries, both ordinary and profound - wedding rings, the circle of life, the wheels on the bus go round and round. This collection of wall sculptures explores the circle through subtle shifts in form, texture, and color, inviting another look at a well known shape.

ABOUT THIS SHOW

Katy Petrisin (she/her) is a ceramic artist living and working in North Carolina under Ware Ware Studio. Her practice explores the relationship between form and surface, blending minimalist shapes with bold pattern, color, and texture. Working within a region known for its deep ceramic traditions, she explores forms and surface design that depart from conventional pottery. Each piece reflects her interest in transforming simple forms into playful, contemporary objects.
