In a Time of Make Believe features porcelain and stoneware sculptures, within whose accumulated layers contain found ceramic tchotchkes. Emblems of the material world, Sonnenberg’s aesthetic is one of excess and delight, while alluding to the hidden, obscured, or concealed. Encased in a thick exterior shell of crackled porcelain, Sonnenberg’s unique technique recycles and reclaims the potential of decorative objects. By evading the sterility and discipline of “perfection” while embracing the boldly ornamental and even ostentatious, Sonnenberg imbues queerness into the realm of objecthood.
