Ying-Yueh Chuang, Seed Creature, 19”x19”, 2000
I really like the way Ying-Yueh explores her ideas through clay, she is great at creating organic forms. Her forms are unique and organic while also keeping symmetrical and asymmetrical forms. I feel like this piece is so different and imaginatively interesting, that you could get lost in the forms, but instead it’s put together really well, the forms flow well together, and the colors look great. I think this piece demonstrates a lot of the ideas we were taught this quarter, I couldn’t find the concept but I think it’s interesting enough without knowing.
Sarah Gross, The Street Where You Live, 7.5”x15”x2.5”, 2010
Sarah says, “a screen divides spaces and unites it, seeing what lies on the other side invites the viewer in, and yet access is forbidden, I seek to activate space by building screens.” These screens caught my eye for many reasons, but I especially like the attention she gave to texture, the organic natural structure of the pieces is very interesting. There seems to be a pretty clear pattern she used while creating this, but with all the extra carving and details added, this piece looks like it could be some sort of ancient artifact.
Brian Harper, Oscillation (folding, 23),
Brian’s installation has to do with the ‘Butterfly Effect,’ and using it to examine how our perceptions of our surroundings are continually being modified as time evolves. This piece first caught my eye because I was looking for puzzle-like ceramics, but I like the way he put together these pieces and the meaning he has behind it all. The texture or the peeling and flaking surface works for this piece because It’s all about time evolving and continuing on, leaving the past in the past. I also like the shadows created by the tangled tubes, it looks great on the white surface.
Todd Leech, Excision, 12”x22”x10”in, 2007
Todd’s artwork addresses the ideas of time, mortality and disintegration. I like this piece because there’s a lot going on that keeps it interesting. The texture and colors are great on this, giving it the old ware look he wanted. The shape and punctured holes also add to the interesting quality, making this piece look like it went through a lot.
