Artist Statement:
As
individuals we endeavor to assert our uniqueness, but in the same
breath ask if our experiences are shared by others. The contact of two
hands, the pull of gravity on sinking form, the small indent of a hidden
smile, I observe the subtle movements in life and through my work, ask
you to do the same.
Just
as we only pick up on tiny gestures when speaking face to face, the
conscious mind has the amazing ability to find meaning in the minuet.
The brevity and physicality of these interactions laden with
significance is fascinating to me and through my choice of format and
material I try to draw attention to the details we often overlook.
In
my most recent work I’ve been exploring the intricacies of human
interaction and our perceptions of each other through the use of the
body. Though the strategies I use to convey ideas vary greatly, there is
always a connecting thread tying human presence to the content.
I
have great interest in studying people from objective point of view and
in turn, make work that allows me to create a platform in which to
observe and engage others. I strive to create work that is likes a
conversation, rich in information, fluid, and fleeting.
Here is the info for the images. The concepts for the works are explained further on her site.

Born from an idea by János Probstner, founder and former
director of the International Ceramics Studio, the 1st International
Triennial of Silicate Arts was held in 2005 in Kecskemét, Hungary –
expanding the tradition of the National Silicate Industrial Triennials
of the 1980’s into an truly global event.
Organised by the Foundation for Contemporary
Ceramic Arts, the 4th International Triennial will again include an
international competition, an exhibition and an international ceramics
symposium.
The venues for the Triennial are based in
Kecskemét, a large market town 80 kilometres south of the Hungarian
capital, Budapest. Kecskemét has long been renowned for its support of
cultural events and has a long tradition of artistic endeavour. The
Triennial exhibition will take place in the Kecskemét Cultural and
Conference Centre.
The theme for the 2014 Triennial is “NEW ENERGY”.
The organisers expect artists to use the given theme with complete freedom and innovation.
The works must be in clay, concrete,
porcelain or glass and artists are free to choose the technical methods
and approach to the given theme. The objects must be original works and
not previously prizewinning works in any international competition.
The aims of the triennial are to stimulate
both fine and applied artists to create works which give scope to the
industrial and artistic application of new materials and technologies,
encouraging the widening of directions in 21st century silicate arts.
Application deadline: 30 April 2014
The exhibiton of the 4th International
Triennial of Silicate Arts will be held from 3 August to 7 September
2014 in the Kecskemét Cultural and Conference Centre.
The official languages of the Triennial are English and Hungarian.
