Steven Young Lee | 1975 – Present

Sara D?Alessandro makes hand-built large-scale organic form ceramic sculptures, characterized by deep undercuts and richly textured surfaces.

Sculptures are frequently meant for landscape installation D?Alessandro ?allows for dynamic forms, textured surfaces, and spontaneity?, which she says cannot be accomplished by casting. After firing the surface is finished with drawing or painting. D?Alessandro states: ?The process of arriving interests me more than having arrived. These sculptures explore inhabitation and animation and do not pursue idealization."
