LAURA ZINDEL ceramics.

Inspired by Victorian Cabinets of Curiosity.

Handmade white earthenware, slip cast with non-toxic low fire glazes. Images are original pencil drawings by Zindel, printed in enamel and transfered and collaged to each piece.

I obsessed over these delicate studies in abc carpet & home this past summer.

ATTRACTED TO LIGHT. By Michael & Doug Starn.

Portraits of moths. The first movement of the Starns' investigations into light: large-scale photographs pinned to the wall like moth specimens and hi-gloss, digitally printed film stills onto Thai Mulberry paper with encaustic, varnish, and scotch tape (Mulberry paper?). The Starns used custom-made macro lenses and developed their own specialized printing method in which the silver emulsion softens and minute flakes of the image wash away, recalling the moths' delicate velvety tattered wings.

The four movements of ABSORPTION OF LIGHT explore the metaphors of light through real symbols such as leaves, trees, moths, and the worn sculpture in Nara of Ganjin-the 8th Century monk who reformed Buddhism. The interrelatedness of these symbols is compressed through their common "lexicon with the sun" and the necessity for light to form their topography.
