Disembodied limbs and pastel colors on lace! I have not written about a ceramic artist on this blog yet, but I believe I have found a very unique and talented one! This beautifully executed ceramic artwork comes from the mind of New York based artist Jessica Stoller. These shiny pieces are extremely girly, although somewhat violent. They have almost sickening sweet elements to them, such as the layers and lace, the delicate flowers, and the intricately adorned pedestals. This is not unlike the Rococo style, which is definitely what Stoller is going for. She explains her complex method using fragile materials.
"In my work I use a technique of lace draping; this method was developed in the 18th century when Dresden decorators dipped real lace in liquid porcelain and laboriously applied it to various Rococo style figurines."
The frail materials against the oddly place body parts, just like the light and flowery imagery against the shiny black surfaces, create a brilliantly stark contrast in Stoller's work!
