Kate Macdowell Sculpture

I found it interesting that she works mainly in porcelain. I saw porcelain clay for the first time last semester; it did seem very forgiving. Out of all her work, my favorites were probably the Daphne piece where her head was still together but screaming against the violence, and the photos of some of her pieces when illuminated from the inside. The illuminated artworks had beautiful shadow forms! Honestly, I was more interested in the stories from myths to now than the poem lines to art pieces. It's nice that Kate Macdowell's sculpture all has the same feeling and message to them. It just means her message is more likely to get out there and effect people.
