This exhibition showcases the power of small-scale sculptural
works. Highlighting artworks no larger than 12 inches, but that possess
a much larger presence. Composed mainly of ceramic, with some mixed
media additions, these objects prove that something doesn’t have to be
huge to be monumental.
Requirements:
Artwork size is limited to 12 inches in any direction.
Use of Mixed media is allowed, but may not comprise more than 50% of the artwork.
Display possibilities include: pedestals, wall, hanging from the ceiling or as an installation.
Postmark Deadline: May 10, 2013

If I move forward and you move back, what happens to the space in between us? What is lost when something is gained? Often times, while working on a piece, a question is answered in the form of another question.
My forms are inspired by my memories as well as my daily experiences and my emotional reactions to them. For me, creating is a form of play in which I formally investigate thoughts and feelings, memories, desires, and expectations. Whether I’m working in a controlled or a spontaneous method, process is very important. By rearranging different components of each piece and by using traditional as well as unconventional ways of working with a material, I attempt to discover new relationships among the things around us.
