Artwork Description
Linda Lopez calls these lively porcelain sculptures “furries.” At first glance, the furries look soft and fluffy. A closer look reveals their hard porcelain surface, prompting viewers to slow down and take notice of the textures of life.
The charismatic furries were inspired by a walk in New Zealand in search of glow worms. Lopez recalls, “There was not even a glimmer of a glow, so we decided to walk the trail again. We walked slower, we didn’t talk, and we practiced seeing. Then, all of a sudden, the forest was covered in thousands of glow worms. It was that moment that made me realize that I wasn’t seeing the things around me every day.”
