The museum says that the show is an exhibition of small ceramic works. “These delicate, small-scale pieces …belie their size in meaning and complexity. This exhibit pulls together art from two bodies of work — ‘Out of One, Many,’ which ‘showcases the anthropomorphic, playful, intricate and provocative side of Butterly, and ‘Headscapes,’ which displays 10 pieces made specifically for this show.’’
