画廊Anat Ebgi 很高兴的宣布，他们将举办陶瓷艺术家Jane Margarette首次个人展览。这次新展览的名称为“蜜糖般的纠结”。

Anat Ebgi is pleased to announce A Honey of a Tangle, an exhibition of new work by Jane Margarette. This is Margarette’s first solo exhibition with the gallery.

Jane Margarette 是一位洛杉矶的艺术家，从事陶瓷艺术和安装工作。 为了这次在 Anat Ebgi 举办的展览，她制作了一套陶瓷雕塑，她的作品运用独特的锁、链、钥匙孔、鸟类和昆虫的形式展现。 将锁视为力量、保护、性感和囚禁的象征，玛格丽特的作品阐明了邀请和拒绝的二分法，诱使观众触摸和操纵这些机制。

Jane Margarette is a Los Angeles based artist working in ceramics and installation. For this exhibition at Anat Ebgi, she has made a suite of ceramic sculptures in her distinctive forms of locks, chains, keyholes, birds, and insects. Examining the lock as a symbol of strength, protection, sensuality, and captivity, Margarette’s works articulate a dichotomy of invitation and a refusal, tempting viewers to touch and manipulate the mechanisms.

Margarette的奇妙幻想的锁在调色板和形式都充满活力和顽皮的色彩，同时保留了残酷、统治和硬度的元素。这位艺术家尝试了错视油画的上光效果，因为许多锁似乎是用金属做的，强调了这些精致的物体对其俘虏的模糊的力量。虽然它们象征着安全、防御和占有，但实际上它们是脆弱的。展览中的作品一起探索了硬与软、逻辑与幻想、开放与封闭之间的紧张关系。

Margarette’s fantastical locks are vibrant and playful in both palette and form, while retaining elements of brutality, domination, and hardness. The artist experiments with trompe l’oeil glazing effects, as many locks appear to be made from metal, emphasizing the delicate objects’ ambiguous power over its captives. Though they symbolize security, defense, and possession, the pieces are in fact fragile. Together the works in the exhibition explore tensions between hard and soft, logical and fantastical, open and closed.
