Title: Head Shakers
Artist: Elizabeth Zacher
“Head Shakers” adds whimsical function to Zacher’s figurative ceramics, the elegant and stylised sculptural portraits redeployed as salt shakers with a few small piercings in the crown of the head. Much of Zacher’s work takes on a combinatory study of tragedy and comedy in human expression, forming caricatures that extend and meditate on subtle emotive or gestural commands conveyed in the language of the body. The choice of porcelain as a medium, combined with the delicacy of the figures framing, comments on a fragility that jostles and influences this psychological accent.
Hieronymus was established as an online gallery in 2014 to showcase the collection of the Richard and Alita Rogers Family Foundation.
