:The Delaware Art Museum will present "Modern Morphism: Contemporary Ceramic Sculpture," on view August 7–October 3.
Part of the Museum's Outlooks Exhibition Series, this exhibition encourages viewers to explore the interconnectedness of art and nature. Clay was sculpted into forms based in nature and then further transformed by the artists' imagination into something unreal.
The works can be organized into the following groups: anthropomorphism (imbuing the form of an animal or inanimate object with human features or behaviors), biomorphism (having a nonrepresentational form or pattern that resembles a living organism) and rhizomorphism (comprising a rootlike structure).
This exhibition includes 18 works by 13 artists drawn primarily from the region. The guest curator is Jacqueline Jrolf.
The Delaware Art Museum is at 2301 Kentmere Parkway. For additional information,
