Susan Collett in Fire and Form: Masters of Clay and Glass at Oeno Gallery - See more: [ Ссылка ]

Exquisitely detailed, earthenware paper clay sculptures are part of a new series by Canadian artist, Susan Collett. The work is richly textured in subtle hues of pink, blue, white and black.

Collett’s ‘Laden’ series is designed to explore the tension between order and chaos.

“The uprooted clusters, clay and nichrome wire draw the delicacy of tributaries, root and branch formations that I am drawn to. Palisade & Elysium culminate in blooms, a notion of light coming out of darkness; analogous to life being cumulative, inevitably changing, never quite finished, unable to be ordered or tidied, messy and chaotic but not without beauty. These petrified scenics are contemplations on life’s cycle of renewal.” Susan Collett
