Kang's got a long, long way to go before he's ready to challenge the late, great, Marilyn Levine.
ReplyDeleteShe was making ceramic boots whilst Kang was still eating Play-Doh.
Oh... And she was Canadian, too!
Marilyn was hugely respected in the clay community, I first saw her work in the early seventies, when she was exhibiting alongside Claes Oldenberg and Robert Arneson. She's one of the greats of 20th century Ceramics.
