TUCK STUDIO presents DEG TRÅG, a series of new ceramic forms by Darren Emenau – October 24 2015
Deg Tråg (Dough Trough) is a series of new forms inspired by the New Brunswick Museum’s collection of wooden hand-hewed dough troughs from the 18th and 19th centuries. Drawn to the conceptual weight and symmetry of these vessels, Emenau has explored various clay bodies and surface treatments to exaggerate and manipulate these forms while maintaining their original symmetric beauty. Trough has resulted in the transformation of traditional functional wares to contemporary pieces to adorn space.
Stop by TUCK Studio on October 24th from 2pm-4pm for an opening reception!
