Emily Llamazales is an artist in several mediums, specializing in ceramic sculpture, photography and writing.
Her ceramic work employs a distinctive technique of decorative surface suspension using transparent glazes in which she coats her sculptures. The glaze traps eye-catching textures and ornamentations and “evokes a transient movement just below the surface,” in her words. The sculptures’ formations bring to mind marine life, waves, wings and otherworldly flora and fauna.
In Llamazales’ photography, she explores holographic techniques using layers of transparent images. The recurring theme of illusory motion features in these holographic works, and the artist often positions them alongside her ceramics as part of a consistent visual language.
