Intriguing ceramic sculptures created by Toronto-based artist Jess Riva Cooper
The Toronto-based artist Jess Riva Cooper seeks for themes of reclamation and transformation through her ceramic sculptures where nature influences and takes over her subjects.
Strongly inspired by the influence of plant species, she featured and transformed her ideas into ceramic figures adorned with the use of clay, color, and drawing to emphasize her fascination and artist attachment and most of her sculptures appeared with floral design.
“In my sculptures, the world sprouts plant matter. Colour and form burst forth from quiet gardens and bring chaos to ordered spaces. Nature undergoes a reclamation process by creeping over structures, subverting past states and creating a preternatural transformation”, she said on her website.
