Liz Lescault is known for elegant glazed earthenware vessels and edgy, sensuous, biomorphic sculpture. In this exhibition Lescault explores the two facets of the creative impulse that drive her work: the beautiful and the bestial.

In one world, Lescault strives to capture beauty for beauty’s sake. Thrown earthenware vessels are subtly altered to evoke organic forms and clothed in vibrant high gloss glazes. Multiple glaze layers and firings give the surfaces incredible depth and subtle variation.

In the other world, her work blatantly references organic entities, hybridizing animal, plant and the man made, deliberately creating ambiguity. She crosses the line between beauty and ugliness. Her sculptures both invite and repulse.

Although strikingly different, in their intent, the two bodies of work are viscerally related. One inclination feeds the other. Lescault invites the viewer to embrace her two worlds.
