Dana Lazarus-Cass
Using a variety of clays and techniques that include throwing, extruding and slip-casting,
I create miniature tableaux in clay. The thrown elements act as a stage or landscape
setting for an unfolding drama, which allows the viewer to engage with the work and
to develop their own narratives. Through the addition of mixed media I highlight
psychological “curiosities” and aim to infuse a sense of the surreal and fantastic.
Irony,
despair, wit and nuances of the human condition are what I hope to communicate through
my work. I seek inspiration from the media, contemporary issues and personal experience
to investigate alienation in an increasingly fragmented world.
