emerging artist: Kim Luther

 
My
name is Kim Luther and I am a Ceramics Grad at Indiana
University-Bloomington. Currently, I am researching
hysteria; how it has been depicted in art, contrived and medicated by
men and how that is still seen in our culture today wether referenced in
music and cinema or politics.  I have also done some photography with
clay that was more about filling voids, space and female relationships
(mother/daughter or sister).
