Heather Benjamin, Shattered Girl I, 2023
Glazed ceramic, enamel, acrylic, nail polish
23 × 20 × 9 inches

Benjamin brings her figures into three dimensions in this new ceramic series. Shattered Girl inhabits a dimensionality somewhere in between painting and sculpture, encompassing some of the same flat stylistic techniques as her paintings. The work is made of glazed ceramic and painted in a naive style with nail polish and acrylic paints. Benjamin employs her own take on the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery called Kintsugi.
