Each of my clay sculptures has its own voice which speaks as I create them. As a figurative artist I'm fascinated by the female form and its impact on art and religion throughout history. Nature is my inspiration and female is nature. I am constantly finding ways to work large and make my figures reflect their sensuality and strength and connection to the earth. I also burnish and pit-fire my work so the smoke ages and mutes the colors with a patina that has a haunting suggestion of lost and forgotten eras of time. I refer to my work as "modern artifacts". This oxymoron reflects my contradictory intent of modern elegance achieved with primitive methods. I hope that my work makes one feel connected to the past, to the earth and to the universal mystery of existence.
ODE
Sculptural Objects - Currently in marble.
Ode is an art and design studio led by Lindsay Marie Bodanza.
My current collection of sculptural objects are made of white marble sourced from Alabama. The symbols are a study of shape and form without regard to function. The Symbols Collection is a modern take on potent sacred symbols that draw upon the ancient and living; upon art, ritual, myth and spirituality.
