Abstract
Curiosity is a natural instinct. We are easily attracted to things that are unfamiliar, yet we long for a tangible connection. Ultimately, we desire warmth, intimacy, and things that bear similarity to ourselves. I am compelled to cast strange objects in silicone, which shares the feeling of the body. I create forms that are fleshy and disturbing and at the same time, domestic and possibly comforting. Displayed on the table, these objects represent my own understanding of people and relationships. The process of making and the final result recall the series' title: Peeling.
