For over a decade, Atlanta-based artist and curator CRLZ has explored the expressive potential of ceramic sculpture. CRLZ's meticulously crafted artifacts delve into a world where the earthly and ethereal intertwine, creating otherworldly figures that challenge conventional notions of beauty. Incorporating striking details such as eyes and spikes, CRLZ imbues each piece with a haunting emotional presence. This practice of "modern taxidermy" aims to encapsulate the beauty and mystery of the natural world, inviting viewers to contemplate the boundaries between the tangible and the spiritual.
