Agata Iwaszkiewicz’s ceramic menagerie is a delightful blend of sculptural expression and everyday utility. Her cartoonish animals—spindly poodles, leaping horses, perched octopuses—carry a warm, hand-built charm. The glossy surfaces and exaggerated limbs make each piece feel both familiar and dreamlike, inviting repeated viewing.

While many pieces function as jars, candleholders, or shakers, the artist’s transition to pure sculpture reveals deeper intent. A horse galloping over a wave with an octopus passenger captures her playful imagination. Personal loss also fuels recent poodle sculptures, adding an understated poignancy to otherwise cheeky forms.
