Two Projects by Andrea Zimon

I have three more projects to show from my spring semester work. These are two of them. 

The first is abstract, non-functional, and an interpretation of a psychological theory. 

This was also a piece to experiment, carve, and draw with. It was interesting to do a work that was a departure from the rest of my work. I normally don't relate artistically to abstract. 

This project was autobiographical. Internal Family Systems was the theory I was studying and could easily relate to.  At the simplest form, it is a theory that we are based on parts. Mostly the parts I made are not specific to me(except for the horse part) - I took a lot of liberties with the theory. My apologies to Richard Swartz (the creator of the theory).  

Pinched, carved, slab, and under glazed parts before assemblage. Most pieces have minimal glaze.

The horse part. I made this part too thin and it broke and warped. I think the repairs make it interesting, though. The repairs are the lumpy parts are the inner corners of the rectangular holes.  It was fun to draw in clay. 

Assembled. Nothing fits well and I was not wanting to make it so. 

Side view.

Now we are back to functional pieces. This was my clay final exam, the dreaded food project, which was to replicate a culinary delight. Mine was a wedding cake. I would have liked to have been more detailed but time was an issue. Warping was a problem with this, too. I think it stands around 2' tall and is in three pieces. I call it a wedding cake jewelry box. 

Next month is my favorite project called four bowls.
