Summertime ceramics

Cindy Wilson’s ceramic sculptures are lighthearted but have a heft to them. Beachy yet made of heavy clay, the artist’s classic colorful beach balls are nostalgic, but the facsimiles don’t have the buoyancy of the original object; they don’t bounce, but break. Her signature figures, faceless female forms with a vintage feel, don swimming caps and simple one-piece suits. The sculptures are bottom-heavy, likely because of physical gravity, but this translates to an emotional gravity, too. See Wilson’s new summertime-appropriate works at Tim Collom Gallery through June 2.
