“For thousands of years, ceramics has been linked to various technologies, essential to its development, such as the kiln and the potter’s wheel. Over the past few decades, digital technologies have allowed artists to develop new tools, and this exchange between the world of computer-assisted manufacturing and purely analog techniques has created a new visual language of its own.’’ Amélie Proulx, curator, XYZ: 4^th Virginia McClure Ceramic Biennale
