Killer Instinct - Humming bird with human eyes and skeletal hands. Ceramic clay. Michelle Loon, 2012 |
This week my goal had been to distill the seemingly random things that make me tick and fuel the adventurous part of my soul into a concise Passion statement. During figurative sculpture class, I had a deja-epiphany (the kind where the Aha! moment makes sense, forget the details of the moment, then it pops up again ages later). All the hobbies or classes I pursue are justification to explore and can be related back to something I have wanted to try in metal clay. In the figurative sculpture class, the medium we are working in is ceramic clay, which is vaguely familiar yet completely new to me. I love learning the technical aspects of sculpting realistic figures though as seen with "Killer Instinct," the more creative license I get, the more things end up having some kind of an imaginative twist. The process of creating things is very seductive to my imagination, and sculpting is my way of creating my own reality that can be shared with others.
My passion is to create expressions of
motion and emotion through whimsical, wearable
art.
How do you feed your adventurous soul?
