Artist Statement:
I like to explore different areas of creation. Different techniques and objects are joined, in exploration of attachments. Vivid colors, metal visuality of clay, classic forms in contemporary shades, and more…
In recent years, I am ‘sculpting’ clay in liquid form, exploring the concepts of a shell and the void created within it. A cloth is used as a construct for the sculpture. In some works, it is burned and disintegrated in the work process but still recognizable, its memory lingers. In others the liquid is hardened through chemical processes, becomes solid and durable.
The objects are misleading, giving the illusion of a heavy material (e.g., metal, lead, cement), yet very light weighted.
