Orly Kritzman

Orly Kritzman is a visual artist who works with clay and words. Her works are focused on the notion of belonging and not belonging, where the dissonance of living in a liminal space is expressed via the disruption and manipulation of form and matter. Using redacted and asemic writing to hide the words which cannot be spoken, and reconstructed objects where repair is not restoration. Orly uses organics and minerals to influence the clay’s structure and qualities. The inclusions are used as agitators, instigators and disruptors; adjusting the clay from within, using material research as a philosophical idea. These physical and chemical interruptions embed signs of making and use within the objects, creating a future archaeology, an historical document of her own state of mind.
