Kari Radasch of Radasch Redware’s earthenware pots are both sparse and embellished. The dishes are structurally straightforward, while the surfaces include bold, graphic, and painterly ornamentation. Kari’s revels in this dualism by collecting, arranging and garnishing then organizing, simplifying and editing both forms and surfaces. The artist thinks of her dishes at ‘platform shoes of pottery’—they are party pots with utilitarian concerns that can be used for any meaningful occasion or as a punctuated ornament to any room.
