Kathy Venter among Coup d'Oeil sculptures, 2013.

---

"How often do contemporary ceramicists engage the body as subject while building a relation to archaic and more recent times?  Venter has done so unequivocally and with a dedication to the craft and technique of ceramics, extending the boundaries and language of her art with integrity, furthering the exchange between ceramics and sculpture. Venter challenges and evolves figurative traditions, reconfiguring them and has extended the boundaries of ceramic sculpture." John K. Grande
