Joan Clare Brown Juxtaposes Anatomy and Memories in Poignant Porcelain Sculptures — Colossal
SHARE

Joan Clare Brown’s porcelain sculptures in her ongoing series Ed are a reflection of grief and personal experience. The delicate tendrils emerging from the bases of her pieces can be interpreted as both soft and spiky, mirroring the complexity of emotions surrounding loss.

The inspiration behind the Ed series stems from Brown’s father’s sudden passing due to pancreatic cancer. The cinched bases of the sculptures symbolize a perforated organ, while the spiky tendrils represent infection. Each color used in the pieces holds significance, drawing from childhood memories associated with her father.

Despite the inherent hardness of porcelain, Brown manages to create a sense of softness and nostalgia in her sculptures. The juxtaposition of textures and forms serves as a poignant reminder of her father’s presence and the impact of his passing.

Through her art, Brown transforms something menacing into a meaningful tribute, capturing the essence of grief and loss in a tangible form. The Ed series is a testament to the power of art to convey complex emotions and memories.
