My largest exhibition to date opened last night in Kansas City. These Things Take Time, at Belger Crane Yard Studios February 6 through May 2, is a survey bringing together fifteen years of work, 2010 to 2025, united by dark, light-absorbing surfaces.
From the press release: “Belger Crane Yard is pleased to present a survey exhibition of works by Mathew McConnell, bringing together a selection of ceramic objects produced over fifteen years of sustained inquiry into creative appropriation and artistic influence.”
The show spans early raku-fired pieces made in New Zealand, the installation-based work of the mid-2010s, and new explorations begun during my 2024 residency at Belger. I’m deeply grateful to the Belgers and the BCY staff for the invitation and their care with this work.
