September 2017 - April 2018
InLiquid and Park Towne Place present Configuration, an exhibition of ceramic sculptures by Nicholas Kripal. Kripal’s tightly conceptual sculptures contain layers of meaning expressed elegantly in seemingly simple and minimalist form. Throughout his career, Kripal was inspired by tools and objects from everyday life, such as hand tools and baking molds. His sculptures combined these forms into symmetrical clusters and stacks, altering color, and shifting scale. The objects are transformed by their association. In creating artwork from common forms, Kripal celebrated humble handywork, elevating the ordinary into something to be revered. Configuration will display a collection of these artworks, which together tell a story of a time and place through objects.
