intermezzi | An Exhibition by Cori Crumrine

The Kathrin Cawein Gallery of Art is proud to present intermezzi, an exhibit by Cori Crumrine from March 14, to April 14. Crumrine is a ceramic artist who creates small-scale, abstract culinary forms using white stoneware and Procreate illustrator.

Artist Statement:

Italian for “intervals” intermezzi are palate cleansers consumed between courses, refreshing the senses to appreciate the flavor subtleties of the next dish.  Bite-sized, curious, and new, my current 2D and 3D works act as intermezzi — an intermission between ideas.    

I create abstract forms that play with sensory perception by referencing culinary elements in my sculptures and drawings. Working with a small scale and pastel palette accentuates the confectionary qualities of my work, subtly evoking all five senses. Each piece emanates an individual curiosity, a need for a closer look to determine whether it is fresh or stale, organic or artificial, bitter or sweet.
