Here's a note from Kaplan about her inspirations and materials:

​

"My work is very much interested in the ontological and epistemological position of relationality in that it explores relationships between objects and discourse through play and assemblage. I create a visual language or encyclopedia of ceramic objects that I later curate, collect, or play with. The work is about exploring the vernacular of parts and the relationships that they create together, and setting in motion an implied narrative that the viewer is very much empowered to consider and enter into. These objects in their juxtaposition of everydayness, abstraction, and figuration, resist and invite narrative while rejecting ossification as a single author-driven story.

 

This work is about uncanny landscapes and the play around creating and forming new familiarly unfamiliar spaces. Through the language of toys, figurines, and collectibles in their form, content, and size my works deal with the imaginative. My work begs to be arranged, rearranged, and played with. As a function of this, implied narratives emerge through the combination and recombination of objects. Texture and form drive my decision making as well as a desire to keep the content and narrative fluid.  Depending upon who curates (interacts with, arranges, etc.) the collection of objects different stories unfold."
