Zhanna Martin

Zhanna portrays people's emotions, expressions, and human nature through clay. Through clay busts, she evokes the human experience of smugness, carelessness, drunkenness, joy, sadness, melancholy, or sullenness, and shapes them into caricatures. Her intention is for the observer to find humor in her work, while recognizing the truth of the emotions expressed. Zhanna believes emotions are what makes us human, and facial expressions are the voices of those emotions. She uses clay to express her observations on the basic humanistic qualities that surround her and that surrounds us all. 
"I also enjoy seeing the emotions and expressions brought out in people when they see my work for the first time. Especially laughter. I love it when one of my sculptures makes someone laugh!" ZM
