Disintegrating, 2017. slip casted ceramic objects, black interior glaze. 8 in. each.
Similar to Pods, Disintegrating was a practice in presenting and documenting my work. I chose a bathroom, commonly felt to be covered in germs, to give these slip casted objects a questionably diseased environment.
While slip casting these amorphous shapes, they continually fell apart. I began saving the failed casts, and decided to fire them alongside the whole casts. By cutting holes into the forms, I exaggerated the fragility of the objects, asking the question : Are these objects disintegrating or diseased? And is there a difference between the two?
