Curious Nature-Inspired Sculptures Emerge from Everyday Objects

Contemporary sculpture by Stephanie Kilgast

Stephanie Kil­gast cre­ates curi­ous land­scapes that grow from unlike­ly places. Bro­ken plates, alu­minum cans, and glass jars host vibrant life-like forms. “My work is an ode to life, where plants and fun­gi meet insects, ani­mals, and min­er­als,” she writes. “These encoun­ters are grow­ing in a col­or­ful swirl of diver­si­ty, and the errat­ic growth devel­ops on the sub­ject, in a dia­logue between human­i­ty and nature.”

Stephanie posts her clay sculp­tures (and work in progress) on Insta­gram. And if you’re won­der­ing the mate­r­i­al she uses to con­struct her small sculp­tures (I know I was), it’s poly­mer clay.
