My creative process is intuitive, empathic, and exploratory. Ceramics are at the core of my practice, though I also work in textiles, and most recently, on paper. I tenderly imbue my hand-built ceramic sculptures—suggestive of imaginary organs, mysterious insects, and sensual flowers—with evocative textures and earthy, fleshy glazes. In a similar manner, I delicately cut and assemble fragments of lush, visceral imagery to create biomorphic paper collages reminiscent of botanical and anatomical illustrations. Every piece I cultivate is purposefully ambiguous. My intention is to create imagery and objects that appear simultaneously animal and botanical, with qualities that appear to be simultaneously evolving and devolving, strange and familiar, pulsing and static, fluid and solid, fertile and barren, alluring and repulsive, vibrant and withering. https://www.michellelaxalt.com/ Instagram: : @michellelaxalt
