"Altitude", Raymond Warren exhibition of ceramic sculpture
26 chemin Sully Wakefield Qc
Galerie McKenzie Marcotte in Wakefield Qc is pleased to present an exhibition of wood fired ceramic sculpture by Raymond Warren. The pieces, based on the theme of altitude, have in common either the experience of elevation by various means such as soaring on a swing or walking on stilts or the suggestion of altitude as the figures gaze at the skies. Ceramics produced in wood fire kilns are exciting and unpredictable and these are certainly both.
