American ceramic artist Kartini Thomas presents Golgi Baby, a tripartite, modular sculpture that draws on the microscopic world of biology. In a joyful amalgam of royal blue spikes, textured spheres and candy-pink drips, the artist has given life to a piece that seems to come straight out of an alien world, yet inspired by the Golgi Apparatus, a critical component of every human cell. Thomas gives it not only a concrete form in the visible world but makes it a new addition to her unique fantasy bestiary. The creature-like ceramic piece invites viewers to engage with it through both sight and touch, creating a whimsical experience that stimulates the imagination and invokes a mellow sense of playfulness. The piece is a testament to Thomas's technical proficiency, honed through her education at the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and her residencies in France.
