Collection: Kirks' Ceramics 2026: Inherently Empty

Kirks’ Grocery is proud to present Kirks’ Ceramics: Inherently Empty: This iteration of our annual ceramics show focuses on the spaces in-between that define the weight and volume of ceramic objects. Inspired by a schematic of a new toilet, this exhibition explores the presence or absence of the term and idea of “empty vessel” in contemporary ceramic works.
