dc.description.abstractI make ceramic forms at the intersection of individual, ecological, and geologic meaning. As the common ground between body, living system, and terrestrial environment, clay emphasizes the relationships between all three. It does this concretely, through materiality, and poetically, by integrating each of these spatial scales. It is bodily in the vessel’s form and in clay’s colloidal materiality. Ceramic pots mirror personal, individual space. Equally, a ceramic vessel can be ecologic in its manifestation of human use, engineered structure, and living system. Finally, it is deeply terrestrial- a thing made of clay is comprised of a weathered amalgam of igneous rock, and is ingrained in our geologic environment and living ecosystem. In carrying and linking these realms, a pot exists between deep time and lived time. Making this body of work is a means for me to contemplate the connections and interstices between three scales of identity and perceived time: personal, communal, and geophysical. My work conveys the emotional impact of lived architectural space and dynamic geology together in an intimate form.en_US
