The Walk by Arina Ailincai

Arina's sculptures are faithfully replicated, life-size clay body-casts and fragments. Clay is pressed into the plaster mold to create "the shell", a hollowed out body shape, an empty vessel, which holds the inner self, with its personal and universal history. These feet are a stunning example of her craftsmanship.

Bio

Arina Ailincai's art focuses of the human figure, the body, which she casts using real bodies, often her own. The uncanny likeness of the ceramic sculpture to the actual body is only a starting point for the exploration, through visual means, of the universal human condition of being an embodied self. Arina Ailincai's sculptures in clay are philosophically and metaphorically charged. The markings on the outer surface and the mysterious scripts in the hollow of the body transform the faithful replica of a particular individual into an archetypal human vessel, holding the traces of inner life, time, place and history.
