Ceramic Vessels

	Marcelle Klein draws inspiration from the natural environment around her studio in Kochav Yair, as well as images from her South African childhood. These sights are distilled into abstract sculptures and vessels. The symmetry and classical balance of wheel-thrown pieces is deliberately altered, creating sensual shapes with a dynamic center of gravity. These works explore issues of containment and emptiness by reinterpreting traditional approaches to shape, volume and space. Her work is unique, whose honors include a Rothschild Award for Ceramic Sculpture. She exhibits regularly in Israel, Europe and North America, including SOFA, Chicago.
