Ceramic Video Sculptures
Featuring hand-drawn animations, these ceramic video sculptures peer into the realm where the body and mind tango.
These ceramic video sculptures, featuring hand-drawn animations, explores where body and mind mingle. Clay is lumpy and unpredictable, qualities embraced in this work rather than resisted. The sculptures’ physical irregularities echo the artist’s sense of body: it has bumps, it stretches and shrinks, and you can never quite predict how it will turn out. Screens embedded in the clay cycle through animations depicting physical manifestations of emotion, finding humor by allowing the body to tell the story.
