Clay Sculptures
We have flirted, shyly, with a notion of 3D (and 5D). With the fact that we exist in space that surrounds us, all around.
Sculpture, representational or abstract, is fascinating for that exact reason – you have to walk around it to fully appreciate its position, expression and motion from all angles and points of view. In paintings, dimensionality is an illusion, in sculpting, it is a reality. The artistic talent to perceive and create in 3D is a rare gift.
Sculpting is an arduous work, whatever media is used – clay, bronze, stone – perseverance is needed to bring an idea to life.
For me, the fascination is three-fold. The most gentle and refined facial or body expressions emerging from a stark, cold and hard materials being turned into ‘organic’. Second, an abstraction and simplification of a form that assumes a purpose of a sole existence of a volume in a space. Thirdly, the scope, a shear enormity of sculptures displayed in public spaces, embedded in the environment, equally artistic and engineering endeavor. Small or large, simplified or detail-rich, sculpture has a special place in my artistic yearnings – an ultimate desire to fuse color, shape, volume and space…
We are lucky to have a sculptor among us. Her work is expressive and intimate, witty, and incredibly powerful for its emotional investment and impact. Shared at exhibitions of the National Capital Network of Sculptors Association, her sculptures are studious, slow and far apart, but more precious for that. Well, she sculpts with her hands, but mostly with her heart.
