Rebecca Manson 

FDP presents selected ceramic sculptures from Manson’s studio north of New York City. As a master of clay, Manson captures the vulnerabilities of nature that surround us. Manson’s sculptures express the relationship between beauty and decay; flowers lyrically hanging from a bag, a crimson poppy crumbling at the moment before dropping petals, expiring bouquets that are gleaming, a freshly skinned cowhide expressing the textural movement of hair, and leaves moving through water. These sculptures create a still life narrative that evokes the tactile mystery of life and death.
