Description
Artist Statement:
Growing up in the serene countryside, and working in an urban setting, I find myself oscillating and drawn to both contrasting worlds. My art serves as a synthesis of these experiences. Blending both elements of nature with the structures of culture. I hope to prompt viewers to reflect on the interplay between the organic and the artificial. With my choice of material and surface, I aim to capture these notions and explore the rugged textures of natural materials. At times juxtaposing it with colourful accents that evoke the traditions of cultural presence.
In my recent sculptural work, I delve into the intricate tapestry of femininity. Celebrating the female body as a manifestation of strength, resilience, and beauty. With two daughters, my motivation is to explore the psychological and physical dimensions of womanhood. Questioning societal norms, advocating for self-acceptance, and empowerment. Aiming to spark conversations about the complexity of the human experience through my art. – Catharina Goldnau
Retail Exhibition – FUSION: Perceptions in Flux
Pick-Up: Pieces will be released after June 23rd for local pick-up.
Care & Use: If necessary clean with wet sponge or dust off with soft brush. Some of the figures can be removed from the rock easily.
Material: Catharina Goldnau continues to explore non-traditional ways of working with ceramic materials and forms. She uses small batches of custom clays enriched with a selection of organic and inorganic additions. Mixing alternate materials and post-firing treatment of the surface enhance the unusual texture and earthiness of the material. Oxides, glaze rubs, and gold luster provide depths of colour in the multi-fire process at temperatures ranging from 700 to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit.
