'Bloom #2' by Godeleine de Rosamel () for that's currently on view at Chefas Projects. Glazed ceramic, 22 × 7 × 7 inches.

Rooted in a multidisciplinary practice spanning painting, ceramics, and found materials, de Rosamel explores the tension between formal precision and tactile immediacy. In Late Bloomers, that tension is heightened through a process that is at once intuitive and technically rigorous. Using a wooden mallet, the artist isolates fragments that retain structural integrity, then recomposes them with newly modeled forms, petals, connective elements, and sculptural structures, alongside previously fired but unresolved ceramic components. Each composition is carefully balanced with close attention to proportion, gravity, rhythm, and movement.

Be sure to take time for a visit and experience the entire exhibit in person. Gallery hours are 1-6pm Wednesday to Saturday.

'Small Animal #6' by Godeleine de Rosamel () for that's currently on view through June 13th at Chefas Projects. Ceramic, 4 × 7.5 × 2 inches.

In Late Bloomers, the works range from towering, vertically stacked blossoms that suggest a scale beyond the human body, to geometric constructions, and animal forms situated within abstracted landscapes. Across the series, glaze functions not merely as surface treatment but as a binding force, fusing disparate elements through multiple firings. Melted at high temperatures, the glaze becomes fluid and unstable, allowing gravity and heat to subtly alter each sculpture before it solidifies. These shifts remain visible in the finished works: slight displacements, unexpected alignments, and traces of movement that preserve a sense of contingency and transformation.

Be sure to take time for a visit and experience the entire exhibit in person. Gallery hours are 1-6pm Wednesday to Saturday.

A lovely portrait of the artist with her work ✨

We recently opened Godeleine de Rosamel’s () fourth exhibition with the gallery, .

In this new body of work, de Rosamel begins with an act of undoing. Finished ceramic pieces, some made years earlier, are intentionally broken apart, their fragments salvaged and transformed into new sculptural forms. What emerges feels less like loss than release: works suspended in an ongoing state of becoming.

These pieces are especially striking in person, where their scale, texture, and intricacy unfold slowly over time. Be sure to take time for a visit and experience them in person.

The exhibition is on view through June 13th. Gallery hours are Wednesday–Saturday, 1–6pm.
