“The world is a beautiful place. I can not wait to teach you about an experience as smooth as velvet but sharp as a sharks tooth.
As the sun peaks over the horizon, bus door shuts on a decrepit bus, a mother cradles her crying child, life is happening. The clock is ticking, and relationships are forming.
Emotion, time, and experiences are being created with no rules but what has been before.
The observation of these experiences, the energy carried within them, the wealth of one’s prior knowledge, while recognising the effect on one’s surroundings is what inspires me.
My interpretation of these experiences is where I find myself in awe.
I aim to digest these interactions and break them down into their most raw states through form and colour.
While my work prevails itself as somewhat of a self-portrait, my hands speak the language of my eyes.
Creating a visual understanding of my thoughts and emotions.”
Marina Caspe (b. 2001, Nantucket, USA) is an artist who specialises in crafting surreal figurative ceramic sculptures that explore a visual manifestation of ideas and experiences that captivate her. Through her work, she invites the viewer to investigate these ideas by creating relatable poses and forms to facilitate deeper engagement. Using a coil-building method she creates figures that take on a being of their own, each developing a unique persona and fostering an empathic connection. Marina’s work aims to challenge one’s initial perceptions and provoke a deeper understanding of reality.
