Organic Features and Textures Cloak Carol Long’s Sculptures in Natural EmbellishmentsMelding the decadence of Art Nouveau and the whimsy of Alice in Wonderland, artist Carol Long (pre-viously) transforms humble clay vessels with an array of small spheres, curled handles, and densely laid stripes. 艺术家卡罗尔·隆将新艺术运动的放浪形骸和《爱丽丝梦游仙境》的奇思妙想合而为一，用微小不见、弯曲把手和细密纹路使得原本其貌不扬的陶器获得新生。Her ornamental works begin with simple, wheel-thrown shapes that are pushed, bent, and warped into swelling forms evocative of organic material or more representational subject matter like a deer or mushroom. 这些富有装饰性的作品最初只是简单的拉胚造型，随后在推挤、弯曲或扭转中鼓胀丰富，让人联想到一些有机生物，或者说更具代表性的题材，如鹿或蘑菇之类。Long then uses slip trailing and an elaborate glazing process to add a staggering amount of embellishment to the amorphous sculptures, mimicking the patterns, textures, and colors found throughout the natural world.接着，隆在后续的泥绘、上釉工序中精心模拟自然界所有的图案、质地和色彩，为不规则的雏形增添惊人的装饰效果。《浙江工艺美术》2023年第4期）
