Came across this article on Meridith Dittmar and her polymer clay work. The article doesn’t have many pictures so check out her website to see her sculptures – they’re worth a look, and I’m pretty sure they’ll give you a smile.
Meredith Dittmar’s art exists in a world of its own. Literally. Her polymer sculptures, or as she calls them “my Guys,†exist in a space as shaped by graffiti and disobedience as it is by the saturated world of Saturday morning cartoons. They are at times aloof and playful, as sweet and innocent as they are bright. Since 1994 more than 10,000 Guys have come into existence with Dittmar creating a virtual society — distinctly varied and influenced. And therein lies the strength of Dittmar’s sculptures; contrasting life seems to emanate from each piece, her characters containing distinct soul.
