I came across this abstract sculpture artists when researching into mark making techniques. The shapes and textures created by Clay's work is so fascinating and unique. I haven't seen anything like Clay's work before and was instantly taken by the bold, exciting colours used within her work. In an interview I read (:http://hifructose.com/2011/10/23/an-interview-with-lauren-clay) Clay always begins her pieces by producing large scale paintings of what she intends to create. I can gather that Clay's imagination is just blooming with new, innovative ideas. Her work in my opinion, leads itself to childs-play shapes and colours, appears very playful and fun. Clay spoke about her work being Modernist and very contemporary.
"Every sculpture I make goes through several stages of painting, sanding and repainting".
"Clay's sculptures seem to grow out of gallery walls like intergalactic plant life or rock formations — their repeating parts coalesce into fluid organic shapes, inviting the viewer to imagine what the Earth might have been like if nature evolved from a neon colour palette".
