Parure 1

"Parure" is a connection to the world of body adornment and headdress. It merges clay sculpture with elaborate ornamentation, bridging two artistic realms. The clay's malleability allows for interesting shapes, intricate patterns, and textures. Adornment (or jewelry) embodies personal expression, culture, and storytelling and "Parure" celebrates the transformative power of adornment, inviting viewers to appreciate the harmonious connection between art and the natural world.

Parure, with its voluptuous and curvaceous forms, can also evoke the ethereal beauty of corals from the sea. The intricate designs and textures reflect the organic beauty found in natural creations.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Through the natural and malleable medium of clay, I merge art and nature, forging a connection between the two. Within this realm, I draw my inspiration, exploring themes of femininity, spatial philosophy, and the interconnectedness between humanity and nature. Delving into the depths of these concepts, I aim to challenge conventional notions of vessels and space, giving rise to art that is not only expressive, sensual, and emotive but also resonates with the intricate topography of the world around us.

At the heart of my artistic exploration lies the human body, with its organic sensations serving as a captivating focal point. The tactile qualities of clay fascinate me, as they enable me to evoke a sense of touch and establish a profound connection with each piece, infusing them with subtle symbolism.
