Coming across Ronit Baranga's clay sculptures for me is unique in the sense of combining an erotic feel to the act of dining with an act that is inherently sensual (eating). Though her work is not intended for functional use, we imagine what one might feel experiencing a well thought out meal with these provocative clay sculptures.. would it enhance the meal or distract from it. Maybe the answer would depend on your own sensuality. In Baranga's own words, "The fingers and the mouth are very sensual organs in the human body and are therefore very powerful as separated items from it."
When it comes to Art, one of my foremost beliefs is that it's up to an individual to decide what they like and what they don't. Ultimately, someone's personal connection with artwork is what matters most:
“I would like that anyone who sees my work feels something – what they feel is not relevant to me, as long as they feel."
