     As a figurative sculptor working in clay, Darla Jackson working procedure begins with the creation of clay molds to cast the final pieces in various materials such as plaster or resin. Built on a formal knowledge of human anatomy, her level of expertise and understanding of this type of sculptural realism informs her current interest in the anatomy of animals. Like Jackson’s previous installations, her new work for the Philadelphia Art Alliance will be based on her focus on the anthropomorphism of the animal sculptures she crates. As installations, individual sculptures are placed in human settings, often with typical domestic furnishings and decorative objects, thus suggesting the human characteristics of each sculpture and their interaction with each other in personal terms, creating as Jackson states, “a familiarity with an oddness that makes it compelling.” Curated by Melissa Caldwell. This show is one of over 90 exhibitions that are part of INDEPENDENCE: The 44th Annual NCECA (National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts) conference taking place in Philadelphia from March 31 – April 3, 2010 hosted by The Clay Studio.
