Lenore Rae Lampi’s Big Bling series is a sculptural tribute to the decorative language of celebration. Transforming familiar forms like ribbons, bows and streamers into bold ceramic statements, Lampi reimagines everyday adornments through scale, surface and form. What begins as playful reference becomes something more substantial: a study in elegance, memory and material transformation.

These pieces, both exuberant and refined, explore the tension between fragility and permanence. Crafted from clay yet shaped to evoke the softness and fluidity of fabric, each sculpture invites a second glance, encouraging viewers to reconsider the emotional resonance of simple embellishments. With this series, Lampi continues her ongoing dialogue with form and feeling, offering work that is both visually striking and layered with personal and cultural symbolism.
