Kathy Butterly’s first retrospective exhibition brings the artist back to UC Davis, the site of her MFA, and to the Northern California region that has been so generative for ceramic art over the last half-century. Encompassing her career through 71 works, the exhibition focuses on the last 10 years of work, including sculpture made especially for this occasion. Butterly is distinguished among modern and contemporary sculptors for her move to a highly personal, yet nakedly accessible ceramic language of line, form and color that tilts ever closer to emotive, endlessly inventive abstraction.
