Linda Sormin: at the Edge of Capacity

Much has been written about Linda Sormin’s large ceramic installation works, vast multi-part sculptures that dominate the gallery as much as they dominate the literature about her. Their impressive and immersive scale is central to her contemporary use of clay, but her practice is also populated by smaller scale sculptures, those that would fit within the circumference of a wide embrace. Within these, the viewer can offer attention to the detail of Sormin’s practice, both physically and conceptually.
