Curator's Note

In Frog 02, Imogen Richards explores the fluid boundary between functional object and surrealist artifact, distilling the theatricality of the natural world into a tactile, three-dimensional canvas. The piece is characterized by its intuitive, energetic mark-making and an earthy yet otherworldly palette, merging painterly abstraction with ceramic form in a manner that echoes the playful, biomorphic modernism of Joan Miró and the experimental clay works of Betty Woodman. With its intimate scale and curious, organic presence, this unique vessel would thrive as a highly conversational accent nestled on a sunlit bedroom console or a curated study bookshelf, inviting both touch and contemplation.
