Our lives are intertwined with categories in which we like to place things. Objects are defined by form, colour and scale, but most importantly by their function and our understanding of them. Through my ceramic sculpture, I hope to show how breaking these conventions can bring new order and understanding to objects and ourselves within the world. I am drawn to things that are multi-dimensional: they defy boundaries both physically and metaphorically. Life does not exist within a static state, so why should objects? This ever-shifting plane or mindset we live in is diminished in the way many works are displayed. I feel it is important to break this and situate artwork in the same fluid state it was created in. Ceramics have a unique relationship with objectivity because they are seen within the world in many categories, such as art, home, museum, sculptural, functional, and decorative. The culture of ceramics is perfect for exploring objects that exist within the ‘in-between’. With the history of this medium and my unique ambiguous forms, I am able to address the ability of an object to be multi-dimensional and in a state of flux. I do this through merging opposing forms: Including geometric and organic, playing with scale, and manipulating of context and colour to create works that are suggestive, acting as prompts. My hope is that the forms uniquely connect and resonate with each viewer, encouraging discussion and challenging their understanding of how they place, see and experience objects.
