In Morning Discontent, two pieces of toast are split, like logs, by a pair of hatchets. Menacing thorns run down the spine of each handle. The thorns suggest the natural world of plant life, but also mysterious injury for the hatchets’ users. Diane Shaw’s work is deeply personal, yet her compositions involving everyday objects, architectural elements, and plantlike parts feel strangely familiar. Here the artist’s combination of wheel-thrown, molded, and slab-built forms is unified by the work’s all-over bronze surface.
