Abstract
ABSTRACT
In an increasingly complex world, the connection between nature and the feeling of
tranquility is explored through the creation of abstract biomorphic porcelain sculptures. The act
of sculpting the nature-inspired forms in the isolation of the studio serves as the first layer of
connection between the possible calming effects of nature and of the resulting sculpture.
Inspiration from ordered organic structures and fractal patterns found in nature can be seen in the
porcelain sculptures, which can evoke a sense of calmness when appreciating the order that can
be observed in nature. The research in Forms of Tranquility seeks to understand and explore the
connection between the feeling of serenity, nature, abstract biomorphic sculpture, the viewer, and
the act of sculpting
