| dc.description.abstract | The aesthetics of “cute,” “creepy,” and “creepy-cute” are identified and researched. The influence of contemporary ceramic artists- painters, digital artists, sculptors, and historical and cultural art forms are discussed. The technical process of using clay as a foundation with mixed media elements is analyzed to support the idea that cute, creepy, and creepy-cute have a role in creating art. The surface treatments and mixed media applied to sculptures in the exhibition impact the perceived meaning of cute and creepy. | |
