The Ambit of Embraces demonstrated the tactility and intimacy of the ceramic vessel. All seventeen of the works in the show are intimate aesthetic objects, made by hand. They are reproduced in this full-color online catalogue. The show was inspired by a quote from New Yorker art critic Peter Schjeldahl:
"Ceramics express and are addressed to the hand. They acquire their full meaning within arm's reach—the ambit of embraces—where the sovereignty of sight blurs into that of touch."
