Title: 50 Pieces

Medium: Clay

Artist Statement:

For this assignment I wanted to explore different hand building techniques that correlated with molding over and within the human hand. All objects made in this collection were at one point in the building process, molded or shaped by the organic and draping form of the palm of my hand using a wet sponge. The white pieces in particular, show positive and negative space in a simplistic and uniform visual appeal. The blue pieces are also uniform but explore more of the draping form created when modeled within the palm of my hand. As two cohesive yet contrasting pieces, I wanted to balance out the two similar pieces but with the same simplistic tone and theme. I am also fond of the radial symmetrical shape and the visual experience it creates for the viewer when looking at all 50 pieces. Overall the final collection represents my artistic style of creating balanced and harmonious pieces that create a unique visual experience for the viewer.

Title: Elevating Tension

Medium: Clay 

Artist Statement:

This piece in its entirety, is a visual and physical representation of active tension between two forces. The piece is resting yet also hanging. It is simplistic in form but yet complex in detail. The piece has a uniform and collective visual appeal and emphasizes balance and symmetry. The glaze chosen for this piece correlates with the metal chain due to the golden pieces within the glaze. Their is an industrial feel to the piece but yet the overall meaning of the piece is centered around the idea of intensity and opposing forces. The sound incorporated with this work includes segments of intense wind noises that radiate between the two opposing pieces of clay that create one cohesive work. Overall all elements of this work help show tension between two opposing forces that alike in style and form but still uniquely different.
