This piece 'You and I #4' is from the exhibition Frictions, first displayed in Rowlandcontemporary, Chicago, USA, 2005. The white glazed form froma distance seems to float in mid air, until further inspection finds its sitting atop these tall slim yellow fiberglass legs. The Danish-born Ruhwald makes art that is "a meditation on utility, the history of ceramics and object-hood", creating ceramic forms that focus largely on the perception of the domestic object, evoking a dream-like scenario around these obejcts.
