Hairy fox

Constant presence in Claudia Kraml's work, man and animal, the confrontation with mortality, finiteness, vulnerability, life, death of grief and happiness. They are mutually dependent, none of them goes without the other. The relationship between man and animal and their fusion do not let you go and are recognizable element of your ceramic sculptures. Claudia Kraml's visible beings come from a world between worlds, are border crossers and seekers, travelers in the in-between. They position themselves to life and death, the foreign and the near, to the now and the memory. They are subtle and melancholic. Their eyes reflect deep knowledge and longing. Often they cannot be assigned. They are always poetic, not repeatable and have a certain fool's license.
