Animal Dreams

These ceramic figures by Jason Miller and Marcia Smith, whether human, animal, or combined, may appear to have an inner world, either ancient or contemporary. The sculpture on the wall might evoke thoughts of ancient worlds or otherworldly creatures. Similar to dreams, these works of art are a composite of the dualities of life, evoking a place between the conscious and subconscious, the familiar and the imaginary, the truths and untruths. Using metaphors and puns from everyday life helps to give them their character. They can conjure up engaging pleasures or unpleasant fears.
