Warren MacKenzie | 1924 – Present

Holly Curcio?s works in terra cotta and low-fired earthenware. Known for tile work for domestic and institutional installation, Curcio also works in small scale sculptural series. These small ceramic figures wear masks taking on the personas of animals and frequently include a unique wall bracket or plinth.

One of these series, ?From Inside the Birdhouse?,explores a relationship between humans and animals. Other series are ?Still Life's & Curiosities? and ?Suspending Disbelief?. Drawing, visual relationship of objects, and textures are common elements of Curcio?s work.
