Ultima Thule

Alzamora’s figurative distortions search restlessly for a poetic function that conveys movement, thought and form pragmatically. ‘Ultima Thule’ connotes a passage of time as a physical object — a body warped and stretched symmetrically and seeming to occupy and move between two spaces. Multiple consciousness are captured in taffy-like fluidity. The artist's talent for material developed with his practice at the Polich Tallix foundry in New York, and here the use of porcelain and a creamy, glossy glaze gives the work a nondescript surface and a full, resolved form.
