Family by Аna Kraš and Natalie Weinberger

In a collaborative exhibition, Ana Kraš & Natalie Weinberger bring together drawing and sculpture to explore the nature of intimate family relationships, and the force of attraction between people and objects alike. Originating from Kras' ongoing body of line drawings, the pair collaborated to adapt Kras' abstract figures into 3-d forms, which were in turn thrown on the wheel by Weinberger. Each "family" is a modular set of functional ceramic vessels that stack to make a table top sculpture - abstracted figures who have a strong emotional pull to one another.

Beginning their collaboration with three sketches of three pairs, Kraš and Weinberger worked closely to translate the figures into 3D forms. All of the stoneware components were first thrown on the wheel, then cut and altered by Weinberger to match the silhouettes of the 2-d versions. Subsequently, Kraš concretized the families through their portraits, drawing the forms back into the two dimensional. Moulding an elegant sense of intimacy through the formal abstraction of togetherness, the 2D and 3D works find harmony in the two artists' subtle treatment of mass and line. 

For their 2017 Featured Artist Exhibition, Family, at Picture Room, Ana Kraš & Natalie Weinberger brought together drawing and sculpture to explore the nature of intimate family relationships, and the force of attraction between people and objects alike. Originating from Kraš’ ongoing body of line drawings, the pair collaborated to adapt Kraš’ abstract figures into 3-d forms, which were in turn thrown on the wheel by Weinberger.
