Jessica Jackson Hutchin’s newest work was showcased at London’s swank Timothy Taylor Gallery Tuesday night.

The show titled Champions, which remains on view until Nov. 6 showcases Hutchins potent sculpture and wall pieces. A star of the 2010 Whitney Biennial, Hutchins employs ceramic with cheap, found materials,  resulting in raw, demanding objects.
