PREVIEW A dance and play in space Natalie Baerselman le Gros previews the latest exhibition by Elizabeth Fritsch and looks at the importance of spatial relationships in her work According to Abi Shapiro, a curator at the Hepworth Wakefield, it would seem that British studio ceramics is having a renaissance, in which narratives can be reassessed and perhaps new stories told. In recent years, museums and galleries have celebrated some of the masters of the material (Magdalene Odundo at Hepworth Wakefield, Lucie Rie at Kettle’s Yard, Jacqueline Poncelet at MIMA, Gillian Lowndes at the Holburne…to name just a few), often in an effort to cement ceramics’ decades-long realignment as a sculptural medium. Elizabeth Fritsch is one such artist that would embrace this renewed institutional view of ceramics and as such, is the subject of a new survey exhibition at the Hepworth Wakefield, Elizabeth Fritsch: Otherworldly Vessels. Fritsch is not a potter nor a ceramicist; she is a painter that makes pots. Her painted surfaces are i l lusory and graphic, simple geometries that carve out space on an apparently f lat surface. Upon the canvas this would recall cubist or surrealist painting trends, to draw attention to the spaceless-ness of the pictorial vista while nodding to the object-ness of the canvas. On Fritsch ’s pots the imagined depth of the painted surface interacts with the very real volume of the vessel, an internal void contained by thin clay walls. Fritsch called this working in two and a half dimensions, but it resonates with theories in 20th-century abstract art of the ‘ fourth dimension’ as an extension of perceived space. It is undeniable then to contemplate Fritsch ’s work as more than just pots. March/April 2025 69
