In her sculptures, Simcha Even-Chen display on interplay between “free form” three dimensional forms and two-dimensional patterns.

Utilizing porcelain’s intrinsic qualities and will to collapse, enables her to push porcelain to its extremes and the edge of the collapse and get the “amorphic” shapes, which she is looking for. The final shapes cannot be planned or foreseen.
Color can connect with human and emotional psychology, reflecting our way of acting and our worldview.
Her sculptures are a metaphor of life itself full of contradictions: tension and balance, expectation and surprise, planning and chance, limited and unlimited and always in motion.
