Alissa Coe at Mjölk
We’re very excited for porcelain artist Alissa Coe’s solo exhibition, happening here at Mjölk in just two days!
We’ve received some finished samples to photograph and the work is incredible! Please come out to our opening reception this Wednesday, May 6th from 7:00pm – 10:00pm.
PRIMARY
A collection of work in porcelain inspired by the power and primordial nature of geometric form.
With this body of work I have attempted to create a primal feeling, as if each piece could have existed from the beginning of time, encapsulating all the strength and fragility of nature in the quality of the forms and materials.
– Alissa Coe
If you haven’t already had a chance to watch any of the City of Makers episodes, we would recommend watching Alissa’s first. This interview happened during the beginning stages of her work for this exhibition, and you can get a glimpse into her inspirations and hints at what might be in the exhibition.
