Embracing Night: New Ceramics by Farraday Newsome
Sredl
Farraday Newsome Sredl is well-known nationally for her work in the traditional
majolica technique. Her vessels are covered in bold and abundant patterns
of fruit, plants and animals, with infusions of desert plantlife from
her experience here in Phoenix. Her new work shows a surprising shift
to a black and white palette that allows for more detailed and personally
expressive imagery. Both bodies of work will be included in the exhibition
to graphically illustrate the changes and consistencies in an artist’s
work over time.
