Dominique Luna is a ceramics in clay student pursuing her BFA Exhibition for ceramics. She is from Norwalk California and in the future would like to become a ceramics teacher and teach at the college level. She has been working with ceramics for quite some time and truly enjoys the process of ceramics. Other types of art such as 3D, drawing and painting are in her resume but finds ceramics to be the best for her. All of the materials she uses for her artwork are from recyclable items.
In her artwork that was presented in the CSULB School of Art Gatov Gallery West, it was a dark room filled with pages on the floor with all the walls being white. There was something hanging against each wall in the gallery which was a full whiteboard against one wall, the Hylian Shield from Legend of Zelda against another wall, a mask with its mouth open with long curly horns against another wall, two keys that appear in the game of Kingdom Hearts and lastly three broken pipes from smallest to biggest. And in the middle of the room there is a stand and on top of the stand there’s a ceramic clay sculpture that looks like a tear drop and below it is a page.
The ceramic work she brought into the gallery is unique. The reason behind the room being dark is to make the room feel like you’re in a dream and can’t see anything as most dreams are dark and hard to see in. The walls and stand in the middle of the room were white to symbolize going to bliss. The Hylian Shield from Legend of Zelda and the keys from Kingdom Hearts are video games that inspire her, especially the details and landscapes from those games. She enjoys the fact that these games are family oriented and same for children to play.
