Label TextThe work of Marilyn Levine centers on transformation where one material is given the appearance of another. In this work, a brown leather drawstring bag is actually created out of clay. Leather is a favorite motif of Levine, and she has produced numerous ceramic objects such as satchels and suit cases that simulate the look of leather.
