The Object of My Affections

Artist Jeanine Pennell's whimsical ceramic creations convey a thousand words with a single look, their faces set in inscrutable, magnetic expressions. Inspired by Pennell's sketchbook illustrations, each is kiln-fired, hand-built stoneware paperclay painted in underglaze washes with a matte glaze exterior, and displaying a gritty, illustrative quality.
