Etta Winigrad Whimsical Sculpture
From the very beginning, my sculptural work has been a continuing exploration and attempt to illustrate ideas and concerns of the human condition, both whimsical and serious.

The sculpture is partially figurative so as to allow the viewer an easily grasped element to bring them into the piece. The current body of work also uses an animal-like figure, that I term a "critter" as a metaphor for life, journey and the idea of our world as a living organic entity. By combining realistic and fantastical elements I am trying to encourage the viewers to use their own imagination and to draw on their own life experiences to interpret what they are viewing.

The recent sculptures are of a low fire white clay body that easily absorbs the smoke and carbon from the newspaper I burn around it after it has been fired to maturity in the kiln. The smoke acts as a paint brush which allows the color to appear as if created by the hand of nature and not as an applied coat of paint from the hand of man. By controlling the smoke to some extent, I can use it to emphasize the forms and the way the audience views the piece.

My influences come from African, South Pacific and Pre-Columbian art. I especially like the simpler primitive shapes that speak to us so powerfully and seem to tap into those forms that we have genetically accumulated in our psyches.
