Stephen Dixon’s new body of work, 'Maiolica and Migration', uses the medium of tin-glazed ceramic to draw attention to the contemporary migration crisis. The works parallel the historical migration of tin-glazed pottery from North African ceramics to English Delftware (a journey of influence and early-modern trade that traverses Europe via Spain, France and Holland) with the migration patterns of contemporary refugees, many of whom travel across land and water from North Africa to seek asylum in Northern Europe.
