Cordell's work, which draws viewers in with the bait of irresistible color, dynamic form, and clinically pristine porcelain, was featured this summer in the contemporary art magazine HI*FRUCTOSE and on the daily news and review journal CFile. Cordell plans to use her time at NCC to investigate her recent curiosity — the framing devices used to present various figurines throughout history. She observes, “Using some conventions of traditional figurines combined with the dissonance of structure and materiality, I hope to create awkward and precarious environments for my animal sculptures.”
