註釋In this exhibition, the artist shows her ceramic figures of saints. The figures bleed, their bodily fluid inextricably bound by symbol and properties to the preciousness of gold, seeping through the fine membrane of their ceramic skin. This equation of material to subject matter is a significant aspect of Curneen?s work. That the figures are constructed from porcelain also suggests that they are too delicate, too frail to be of mortal flesh, but rather ethereal, celestial beings. The only hint at any self-determination is given on occasions where the tips of their fingers have been dipped in gold, demonstrating that they have touched their wounds, responded to their fate, and where tears of transparent glaze have made their painted eyes run a little down their cheeks.
