Gina Zycher: I Forgot Where I Was Going With This - is a meditation on the artist’s relationship to anxiety through the medium of ceramic and surface design. Tally marks, Twombly-esque scribbles, dainty florals and x’s and o’s, are applied to the surface of handbuilt and wheel-thrown stoneware vessels using both porcelain inlay and hand painting with deep indigo glaze on white.

These motifs and the titles of her work, including: I Can’t Wait to Leave, Cool Girl, Anxiety Sampler, and I Actually Like It, refer to life-experiences associated with being overwhelmed, and prone to overthinking and worry. While the work of creating her ceramics often acts as the antidote to such states of mind, the constant unpredictability of the medium presents its own complications and frustrations.
