The Shard Sculptures of Zemer Peled
Sculptor and installation artist Zemer Peled manifests nature through unconventional means in these unique and mesmerizing sculptures. Each one is comprised of a thousand shards, organized into a seemingly living configuration as Zemer emulates the fractal patterns and raw aesthetics of nature itself. The process is a paradoxically destructive one as she hammers and clips long ceramic rods into creative building blocks. Each fragment is hand painted and integrated into her designs - a process of natural order emerging from calculated chaos.
