Sally Silberberg: Shifting Ground presents porcelain sculptures from the 1980s — a largely unseen body of work curated by Glenn Adamson that marks a decisive shift from functional ceramics toward radical sculptural language. Abandoning the potter's wheel, Silberberg built forms from solid blocks of porcelain, layered with pigment, cut, torn, and carved to evoke fractured stone and exposed geological strata. Angular, striated, and weighty, the works push porcelain to its structural and perceptual limits — balanced between precision and disruption, evoking forms under pressure caught in continual transformation.
