Australian artist Amiee Byrne Is attracted by everyday objects that “are so normal, they have become invisible,” she says. Byrne emphasizes carefully sculpture of clay in life -size representations of their counterparts and emphasizes the tender charm and a modest meaning of forgotten and discarded goods.
Creating an accurate representation includes the conscientious embrace of imperfections and defects. Take byrne’s Bear Sculpture for example. Split on his stomach as if it was frozen in time after he fell on the ground, the well -loved Teddy Bear’s downy but matted fur remains somewhat discolored in some areas, as well as the snout. Details of authenticity ultimately point to a moving emotional response. “This object gets a second chance and I like to celebrate the mistakes,” she says.
Technically, the artist -based artist has developed a clear talent for producing hyper -realistic textures. Although it can be particularly challenging to reach lifelike surfaces with ceramic pieces, Byrne uses various lowercangs to reach the perfect shine or flat finish on top of each object.
Often scrolling on the internet for hours, looking for tools to perform such precise textures, Byrne also explains that she loves experimenting with various items in -house. “My favorite tool is a Dustpan broom,” she says. “I always base clay with it to create different effects.”
