Object Details
- Exhibition Label
- It's hard to resist the disarming, childlike charm of Jeffry Mitchell's pots. Disguised beneath the rich sheen of his metallic glaze are flowers, teddy bears, and Babar-like elephants---common themes that this artist uses to explore themes of love, sex, death, and spiritual redemption with an evident sincerity and lust for life.
