A rabbit with the head of a cockatiel, a two-headed lamb, an oddly gangly elephant — her creations are absurd but also strangely familiar, as if they sprang from a half-forgotten Greek myth, or perhaps a Tim Burton film. Maybe the reason I'm drawn to them is that I had a certain weakness for adorable ceramic animals in my youth. These still retain an element of cuteness, but they're a little more grown-up, transformed for a decidedly adult sensibility of a world that is not quite right.
From the artist:
In the "Oddities" series of ceramic works, I use my training in china restoration to seamlessly recontextualize each found object through addition, subtraction or recombination of pieces and parts. Emulating the hand of the original craftsperson, I transition one part into another. My work is strongly informed by processes like genetic mutation, symbiotic relationships, grafting and DNA manipulation, and reflects my love for black humor, subversion, and anomalies.

Love the concept, love that knotted-neck crane.
Given that the theme of many of the posts over the last few days have involved purging what you don't need and so on, I find this post especially odd. These don't appeal to me at all.
I like anthromorphic art but these do not appeal to me.
I am in agreement with the above comments.
I think they are weird and adorable.
Oh, I love the bunny cockatiel. There are several artists on Etsy who do similar work and are quite affordable. I have a nice piece from Melabo and The Runny Bunny also does collage slip casts.
I LOVE the two headed lamb! Having it at home would be like starting my own zoo of oddities.
Very creative! Much better than the mass produced animal-of-the-month.
The first two remind me of something a friend in Europe recently told me about: cockentrice.
I had never heard of it before and, since photos of it seriously creep me out, I can't say I'd be all that eager to try should the occasion present itself.

Elephant legs not quite long enough...

I love them! Yes, I was also reminded of Runny Bunny on Etse. I kind of want one tattooed on me!
This has tweaked a bit of cleverness out of what is still kitschy dime store / dollar store crap. Outbox for sure, but it wouldn't be good will to foist this stuff on Goodwill.
Ghastly.
I can see how some people might not like these, but I think they're wonderful. The original figurines are skunked -- that style is over and is never coming back. Once upon a time, there were evidently people whose lives were drab enough that a ceramic lamb would be an appreciated day-brightener, but those people are dead now, and these things are just clutter that nobody looks at. The new versions, on the other hand, reward a close look and spark the imagination. The objects have gone from useless kitsch to art. The artist's skill is impressive! It's probably unfair to the pieces to isolate them and showcase them out of context like this -- they are probably much more effective in a habitat where the viewer sees "old-fashioned figurine" but then is vaguely alarmed that something is not quite right and has to return to investigate. That prod to look closer is a good reminder for anybody. Good job.
