Title: Lace Ruffles

Artist: Malcolm Zander

Woodturned vase from Zander, “Lace Ruffles” showcases remarkable materiality through its thinly registered walls — the vessel’s exterior surface capturing the grain and hidden sculptural detail in full depth and breadth across its sloping facade. The impression of lace upon the rim seems at odds with such attention paid to this kind of innate material truth, but Zander presses for an elucidatory showcase of skill — carefully reducing the friction between reality and fantasy until the two combine.
