Sophie Ristancevski bare

Body image is an issue that is more prevalent now than ever. My body of work, bare, abstractly represents the beauty of the female body and its relationship with nature. As a female, I have witnessed the perpetual shadow that looms around the people I know and love regarding the way they perceive their bodies. The organic curves of the grog raku and magma glaze express the perfect imperfections of our bodies as well as alluding to natural landscapes. With my work my intent is to redefine how we see our bodies: raw, unfiltered, naked – bare.
