My piece, Cocca Veneta, will be included in Renaissance Venice: Life and Luxury at the Crossroads curated by Dr. Katrina Tsoumis for the Gardiner Museum opening next week. The exhibition features more than 100 objects from the 16th century along with the works of three contemporary artists.

Renaissance Venice was a multicultural metropolis where migration and mobility shaped the daily lives of its inhabitants. Its position at the crossroads of trade routes linking Europe to the Islamic World brought a continuous flow of commodities like pigments, spices, and luxury objects. In the homes of Venetians, these imported goods complemented locally-made products like maiolica, or tin-glazed earthenware. Renaissance Venice: Life and Luxury at the Crossroads recreates a sensory world of objects, from Chinese porcelain and Islamic metalware to Venetian textiles and glass.
