Kate MacDowell's Porcelain Sculptures

I chanced upon Kate MacDowell's works while browsing through Tumblr and instantly fell in love. Her porcelain sculptures delicate and elegant, but upon closer inspection, you'll realize they convey darker, more macabre messages.

Kate's works are all symbolic of humanity's often destructive relationship with nature. The artist herself says it best in her own words:

"...the union between man and nature is shown to be one of friction and discomfort with the disturbing implication that we too are vulnerable to being victimized by our destructive practices."

Dolly Diptych Week 26: Kaden

I apologize for the short hiatus! It's almost been two weeks without updates. I got caught in between work and personal stuff and playing Guild Wars 2. Anyway, I should be back to blogging more often now that my Christmas vacation's coming soon! :D

Speaking of vacation, I have a guest vacationing here at home. This is Kaden, my friend Jai's Junior Delf Terra. He's a little reserved and grumpy sometimes, but he's actually really nice. :'3

More photos! Excuse the repetitive shots lol. I'm still trying to get a hang of posing SDs. >w>

JDF Terra is one of my favorite LUTS sculpts which is why I'm so happy Jai let me borrow Kaden for a while. I'm not sure Kaden is as thrilled as I am, but I think he likes Blair and Miette enough to stay. ^^;
