Aneta Regel: Memory Landscape at Sarah Myerscough Gallery, London
Vasi Hirdo, Ceramics Now, May 15, 2023
It is with great pleasure that Sarah Myerscough Gallery introduces the first solo UK exhibition of acclaimed experimental ceramicist Aneta Regel. Memory Landscape will be the inaugural show at our new gallery space in Mayfair.
Aneta Regel’s abstract ceramic sculptures express themes of memory and the passage of time, displacement, nostalgia for a family home and her childhood landscapes populated by the creatures of Polish folklore. Her totemic objects are crafted from multiple layers of stoneware, porcelain and foraged volcanic rock inclusions. They are repeatedly dried and re-fired, telling a story of constant metamorphosis, of conflict and change, pushing the materials to their limits in the kiln, testing their malleability and density, strengths and weaknesses.
