For Period, her second solo exhibition with Gió Marconi, Allison Katz focuses on the medium of ceramics, with a presentation dedicated entirely to glazed plates. Her experiments with this format began in 2011, and intensified during the summer of 2017, while on residency at the Mahler–LeWitt Foundation in Spoleto, Italy. The plates take as their subject matter motifs developed by the artist in her paintings and posters, with additional variations being generated by the history and technical realities of the material itself.

Allison Katz (b. Montreal, Canada, 1980), lives and works in London.
