Distorted ceramic sculptures by Jennie Jieun Lee

Sometimes when I stare long enough at a beautiful sculpture, I start to imagine it melting. Jennie Jieun Lee is one step ahead, she has already done it for me.

The Korean-American artist creates some seriously fascinating ceramic pieces covered in abstract paintings. I won't pretend for a minute to understand everything about her art, but these distorted slip cast busts are a treat to look at.

After getting her diploma at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, Jennie worked in the fashion industry for a long time before rediscovering her love of clay. Her work has been exhibited in the U.S. and abroad at galleries such as Cooper Cole, Toronto; Galerie Lefebvre et Fils, Paris; Jacob Bjorn Gallery, Arhus and Anonymous Gallery, New York.

The trailer looks promising, but few had high hopes for an adaptation of Scott Turow's first novel that had already spawned a Harrison Ford flick 34 years ago. Ah, 1990…the Gulf War. It was the year when I was afraid to go to birthday parties for fear that everyone would start singing Taylor Dayne's Love Will Lead You Back . 1990 was the year when I caught mumps and chickenpox. It was the year when no one was quite sure what happened between my science teacher and my classmate's dad, but they were sure happy about it. A reason to see Presumed Innocent is the amazing performances by Jake Gyllenhaal and Bill Camp. A reason not to see it is if you're already very familiar with the book and the movie.
