Sunday Evening Art Gallery — Zemer Peled

Ceramic artist Zemer Peled was born and raised in Israel. She earned her MA at the Royal College  of Art (UK).Her sculptures and installations consist of thousands of hand-crafted porcelain shards: a technique that yields a texture both delicate and severe.The arrangements are a spellbinding combination of colors, texture, and forms that have an otherworldly appeal. Peled’s forms are complexly ordered from the inside out, often bulging or spilling over with textures both delicate and severe.Her ceramic fragments are geometric barbs that mysteriously take on an alluring form, offering a sense of softness despite a sharp actuality.The forms are never static; the visual dance of sharp ceramic parts conveys a sense of constant movement.The process behind the installation is perilous: the artist adds the hooked porcelain fragments one by one, pushing the material to its limit to create a precarious yet sustained environment, manifesting the idea of musical notes sustained in time and space.As the installation grows more complex, the work is continuously in danger of collapsing from the weight of its own individual pieces.
