Object Label
In this small-scale ceramic, Kathy Butterly blurs the lines between a functioning vessel and an undulating, overflowing form. The piece combines layers of rich glazes, complex textures, and oozing contours that contribute to its almost living presence. Through this process, Butterly transforms a familiar decorative object into a playful and whimsical creation.
