Funk You Too!
Humor and Irreverence in Ceramic Sculpture
Funk You Too! is the first book to connect the historic Funk Art movement to contemporary ceramic practice through the exploration of the enduring role of irony, absurdity, and a tongue-in-cheek approach to image-making with clay. The founding generation of Funk artists used forms of humour such as irony and satire to deflate the power of the aesthetic hierarchy that dismissed ceramics as hobby art.

Kanishka Raja
Kanishka Raja's ravishingly patterned work, as the artist put it, "explores the intersection of representation, craft, technology, and the gaps that occur in the transmission of information." Conceptually heady and aesthetically alluring, Raja's I and I series combines painting with woven, scanned, printed, embroidered and reproduced counterparts.
