Meticulously hand-built via hundreds of stained porcelain and glazed earthenware components individually attached to create each work, Lopez’s Furries are an amalgamation of inventive form, playfulness, and material mastery. Though chemically similar to stone, Lopez’s colorful Furries appear at first to be soft or squishy objects that have been frozen mid-dance. In her smaller works, porcelain’s soft, glowing qualities reach their peak in the smooth, lobed surfaces of each sculpture.
