Liora Kaplan constructs sculptural forms compiled of found objects, laden with local significance, such as Israeli ceramics, merged with aesthetics that pertain to traditional craft. Her three-dimensional objects are imbued with symbolic codes and meanings, and her works explore the subjective interpretations transmitted through such codes. Kaplan employs a variety of materials including wood, leather, metal, and glass, which together generate a new set of characteristics and a cohesive array of work. Through her objects and materials of choice, her works give rise to a new cultural narrative that brings to the forefront the artist’s inclination toward creating connections that lead to dialogue rather than conflict.
