smile (fangs)
2010
A crumpled white porcelain form sits atop a black cubic pedestal studded with small metal rivets, creating a stark contrast between the organic, fragmented upper element and the austere, geometric base. The white material appears folded and compressed, suggesting both fragility and tension, while the lead shot and epoxy components add weight and structural complexity to the composition. The work exemplifies contemporary sculptural practice that challenges conventional notions of preciousness and form, engaging with modernist abstraction while incorporating materials associated with craft traditions. The title's reference to fangs introduces an animalistic or aggressive dimension that complicates the work's formal elegance. The piece reflects a broader artistic interest in materiality, scale, and the unexpected juxtaposition of refined and industrial elements.
