Notes
The cubic forms from Bettina Pousttchi’s recent Earthwork series are derived from historical architectural elements. The manual production gives each element a slightly different shape, and the individual glaze—ranging in shades from burgundy red and light purple to deep cobalt blue—imbues each module with its own nuance. This variation of the object in form and color creates a distinctive vitality. The serial, non-hierarchical arrangement of nearly identical modules in the wall sculptures recalls Donald Judd’s progressions.
