以色列艺术家Michal Fargo以非传统的工作方法驾驭纹理，材质。她创作的瓷器介于工
艺与设计之间，采用原初的技术和工业原料，使用海绵模具得到多样化的表面质感。
人们以为是海绵，但实际是陶瓷。这些不同寻常的陶瓷作品虽然没有叙事性，但其抽
象化的形体依然能唤起人们情感。此外Michal Fargo还用手撕的方式把一些海绵泡沫制
作成寓言式意味的石材，人们在看到的一瞬并不能意识到这些作品原本的材料。
Michal Fargo- Artist Statement
In my work, I am driven by textures, materials and non-traditional working methods.
The main subject I deal with is the thin line between imitation and interpretation - My
work portraits the contrast between an urban lifestyle anda remote admiration of nature.
When I work, I use the most naive and (sometimes) barbaric techniques while facing
industrial materials.
I try to capture a longing for authentic nature and at the same time to celebrate its
progress and many benefits, and perhaps combine both emotions into one.
If I had to sum my main ambition in my work I would say that I seek authenticity that
comes from a personal aesthetic perception.
The fine definitions of art, craft and design seem to me unnecessary in relation to my
work.
While working on a piece, it is not so much a 'narrative' that I'm after, but rather, visibility
and the abstract feelings that may be summoned by viewing the form.
As an artist I would like to think that I am a highly individual maker searching for an
esthetic vision that would be completely my own.
