Oh wow, what an amazing artist!! I hope we'll see much more of her! What an interesting approach to pottery!
ReplyDeleteShe does have some very interesting inspirations, and her work is very beautiful to me, in a strange sort of way.
DeleteGood too see creativity and innovation like this. The biological erosion piece looks very interesting.
ReplyDeleteHer biological inspirations are very interesting...and, I'm sure, a little unsettling to some. The first piece was inspired by acne and the second by osteoporosis. There are others inspired by cancer cells, psoriasis, scars and syphilis. The biological erosion series was inspired by a parasitic virus eating away at the host. Who would have thought you could find beauty in some of these phenomena?
DeleteI definitely picked up the acne inspiration on the first one!
DeleteIt's fascinating to look at some of the entire series and see the process, such as metamorphosis or the biological erosion, from beginning to end.
DeleteThanks Dana f
