{3} Congealed Series

Inspired by the dynamic function of our multilayered epidermis, Congealed is a series of sculptural wall pieces that contrast naked porcelain with bulging flesh-like rubber. Referencing cross-section anatomy, these works mimic how skin functions to hold the inner body in place, as well as its wondrous malleability to stretch from the internal outward, accommodating extra fat, muscle, and fetus. As it resembles such membrane and internal organs, the Congealed series parallels skin, bones, and body fluids that make up our common, yet mysterious interior compositions.
