Fierce but fragile … beautiful, elegant, porcelain creatures by American artist Crystal Morey. Here are her words about why she creates what she creates:

“As a species, we sit at a pivotal moment, faced with monumental questions leading to difficult, uncertain answers. My figures exist on this frontier, absorbed in their own feelings of stress, anxiety and ambivalence. Sculpted from the silken white earth of porcelain, I see these delicate figures as containing power – as modern talismans and precious telling objects. They are here to remind us of our current trajectory and potential for destruction and downfall.”

    I didn’t know much about porcelain sculptures until I subscribed to this Jealous Curator thing and every time stuff is posted like this, I am so amazed at the beauty and brilliance of this art -it’s expanding and upgrading my art chip in my brain. And of course I enjoy looking at all the Wish-I-Did-That-Art thru Jealous C. Wish I could get my gears rolling and do something, but for now, I’ll keep wishing and looking art!
