]]> Artist Calvin Ma expresses social anxiety through his surreal ceramic sculptures of human-bird hybrids. The bird elements represent the protection of the person from the outside world. The design reflects Ma’s struggle with social interactions.

“I never really felt comfortable in my own skin in social settings, so I created these characters to help tell stories about it,” the artist told This Is Colossal. “Each piece is meant to act out a specific social anxiety related experience. I try not to get too dark or serious with the work and really try to have fun with it.”

If you’re in the Davis, CA area tonight swing by and say hi at the opening of ‘Walk in the Wild Side’ @pencegallery 6-9pm Pence Gallery: 212 D street, Davis CA 95616 Ceramic sculpture by Northern California artists that embraces the surreal, comical, or disturbing side of life is the focus of this group exhibit. This second ‘post funk art’ generation of artists pushes the medium of clay for its expressive properties, and its ability to convey life-like textures and surfaces that they bring to fantastic heights of skill and imagination. On display are pieces by Bill Abright, Linda S. Fitz Gibbon, Lissa Hershleb, Evan Hobart, Mark Jaeger, Joseph Kowalcyk, Malia Landis, Calvin Ma, Kate MacDowell, Crystal Morey, Tony Natsoulas, Colleen Sidey, and Wesley Wright.
