Polly Apfelbaum is a multidisciplinary artist that works in various media from painting, sculpture to ceramics. Apfelbaum creates colorful and patterned installations that challenge the traditional hierarchies between the various genres of art, especially the gendered constructions of craft and folk-art practices.
For the last decade, ceramics have played an integral part of Apfelbaum’s artistic production resulting in a prolific oeuvre of colorful and heavily glazed abstract tiles. Their patterns, based on designs commonly used in rugs, quilts and board games, are now the cornerstone for the new print editions made in collaboration with Mixografía.
