I'm focusing, I'm focusing on all this brilliant stuff... Not sure what I was expecting from the AGO's Thomson Collection of Ship Models, but wow! 1/?

Wendy Walgate's "As Quiet as a Mouse" jumped out at me in the excellent installation of playful ceramics just inside the door of the Gardiner Museum. There are so many games and weird tureens that I might not make it to the other exhibits! Obviously, this one's for @greenleejw.bsky.social

Labyrinth Game, but make it ART This motion-sensing table dips towards you when you step on the carpet, flooding the city-like, 3D printed ceramic tiles with ominous liquid. One of my favorite pieces at the Gardiner Museum. Would love to see more from this Iranian Canadian artist, Hadi Jamali!
