Artist Statement In this series of work I combine an abstract curvilinear sculptural form with surreal narrative painting in order to create an illusion of dynamically changing reality. The illusion of a 3D world formed by realistically rendered painting intermingles with the three-dimensionality of the object. I paint with underglazes and build with clay. I create an impression of interchangeability between flat image and three-dimensional form. In my sculptures I am trying to convey an internal world of a city dweller, as if it is contained inside a vessel, or like a figure that undergoes an inversion on a complex plane. I was looking for a three-dimensional space that can hold an external world. A world remembered or imagined from the past, a world that is forced by the inversion to live inside a ceramic sculpture, a world that smoothly transitions from one dimensionality to the other, a world of a dream with a broken and twisted perspective. I as not satisfied with flat canvas which is always limited by its frame, and wondered, what is hidden behind. A three-dimensional object gives away this secret, but I want to show what could be concealed inside. I create an illusion of a whole. Do we look inside or outside and what we see or want to see? |
