Ceramic coral reef by Courtney Mattison


Every once in a while, I come across a sculpture that makes me go, "Oh. Wow." This is one of them. It's a coral reef that artist and ocean advocate Courtney Mattison crafted out of ceramic. The monumental wall piece, called Our Changing Seas III, is the third in Courtney's series of large-scale installations "inspired by the fragile beauty of reefs and the human-caused threats they face." On view till August 28 at the Palo Alto Art Center.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
