Katie Lemieux: Oval Animal Rolling Tray - Song Birds

Artist Statement: Through my sculptural practice I explore visual cues of body language - or kinesics - a means of communication that exists outside our use of the spoken word. I look to lure the viewer into subconsciously replicating the artworks before them, signalling empathetic responses. By placing focus on the figure, I can use both gestural abstraction and literal renderings to visualize these connections.
