Anne Marie Laureys

At crits this morning I mentioned an artist that Heather should check out, Anne Marie Laureys who works with manipulation of the vessel, similar to one of the bottles she is showing in the WIP show. It was hard to get images of her work that were downloadable, so this is not the most appropriate piece. I especially like her recent work that is very thin, fleshy colored, and very folded and twisted. There is a very human quality to her pieces. Here is a link to her website where she has many more images of how she manipulates thrown forms.

Full kiln

Here's hoping!

Troublemakers...

Papers and such

Researched some sweet artists for my paper in Body and Space class. I am writing about artists who are successful at creating a proprioceptive response to their sculpture. The first two images are from Tiziana Bendall-Brunello. They are so delicate and light, yet full of movement and emotion. The second two images are from Brad Taylor. I can feel mass and weight of gravity just by looking at them. Although the style of each of these artists could not be more different, I think that they are very powerful in their ability to create physical empathy.
