I've been interested in working
with my hands and creating something to stretch the limits
of my imagination
and the limits of the clay so i've always been interested in pushing
the material boundaries making something, you know,
as large as I can
to the ends of my ability with the clay.
It's like nothing I've ever seen.
I was talking with my mom and it reminded me of something out of Star Trek or Star Wars.
I admire the artist
for being innovative and
thinking way outside the box
of what traditional art is.
It's fun here where you can
actually
touch it and
eat parts of it. (laughing)
These are
based on the form of a dinosaur skull but it's like a
serving platter
of eccentric function. So you can reach inside nasal cavity
and then pluck out out some kind of edible.
I'm amazed really.
I'm surprised.
Just from working with ceramics myself, it's so
hard for me to just make a bowl or something.
Cracks in it and gets all lumpy and stuff.
I really appreciate someone being able to let
go of their master pieces because,
I mean, here I am standing here touching her art.
To me that takes a lot of courage and trust in other
people to say,
you know, you can not only come and touch my art but you can
smash it if you want.
To encourage the viewer to
challenge passive spectatorship of art, so I wanted to
encourage you to have taboo interactions with the pieces. So to touch, to taste,
to destroy, to win, to actually pick it up and use it. Things that you would never
normally do in the gallery
in then the idea is that you take that experience out of the gallery and think
about how
your interactions to life or to media and how you're consuming information
in your life and to hopefully that you'll really think
a little bit more about your actions.
I love it! I think this is a wonderful experience.
I hope a lot of other people find it.
This is up for a month. It's up through February 22.
So that's a nice bit of time.
