Aggie Zed, sculptor and painter, will premiere her small figurative ceramic theatrical-like animal sculptures and colorful life-inspired paintings offering an additional interesting dynamic to this year’s Artrageous exhibit.  Using clay as her primary medium, Zed sculpts with this organic medium to create fist-sized people, some with animal inspired features.  The sculptor’s intention is to present the art with humor and poignancy.  Her drawings are a combination of dry pastel with ink and water, delivered through spray bottles and crude brushes.  Creating conscious and self conscious parts throughout her work, the pastoral imagery comes from years of living with various animals.  Her earliest visual inspirations were from her childhood spent on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, a barrier island outside of Charleston, growing up with numerous dogs, donkeys, ponies, and other animals.  For over twenty years, Aggie Zed has been developing her clever ceramic sculptures and paintings.
