Project# 6 Love By Harry Day Love can be represented in many different facets of art, I primarily express love in art through photography, but my newfound interest in clay has opened up a multitude of avenues that I just could not achieve with 2D art. The figure I sculpted represents a love that I wasn’t allowed to express or wasn’t equally shared. The reason for a lone mouth symbolizes my frustration and struggle with that love and an attempt to move on. “How is clay reminiscent of love” you may ask? Well very much like love clay is cold, damp, hard, and generally lifeless at the start. However, as you work with it to build something the clay begins to warm, soften, and mold to your desire; with time a beautiful love has formed. Yet the work is not over, clay is a material that quickly dries and tends to crack or crumble. So you need to care for it, keep it safe, sustain it, you must love it.
