| TRANSLUCENT PORCELAIN . CARA LONG . |
Cara Long's translucent porcelain installations explore the haunting
beauty of docile female figures restrained within stark, potentially
perilous environments. The figures, painted directly onto thin panels of
porcelain and then back-lit to give a subtle glowing effect, provoke
emotions of loss and defeat. Her combination of dangling, submissive
characters overlaid on a delicately illuminated surface creates a vexingly
inviting experience. The precision of technique with its aesthetically
immaculate glow allures even the most tepid into Long’s emotionally
disparate imagery. The marriage of such striking visuals and seductive
translucency prevails in this intimate series of installations.
