8 smashed cake Drawing ideas
Melinda Laszczynski – Make Me Feel
Melinda Laszczynski Abstract Drawing / Watercolor: Make Me Feel 2019 Artwork from “The Love Lives of Stones” solo exhibition at Galleri Urbane.n….nThe Love Lives of Stones is an exhibition of ceramics and watercolors that exist in the liminal space between looking and feeling. This work is a balance of alchemy and anticipation, a push and pull between manipulation and the (at times merciless) nature of material. Both clay and paper hold onto that memory of manipulation, whether a touch of the hand or a glaze of color, a hazy but persistent layer til the end. When I make these sculptures, I think of cakes rising and falling, bodies pushing against one another, and new growth pushing through organic forms. It’s romantic, made of literal earth, minerals, and fire. Layers of texture and color spill out and fight for air. A tension between brutality and softness comes from the accumulation of forms torn and smashed together. Overall, my studio practice is playful and tactile.n”
