Reorienting in raw

    Reorienting in Raw

    Reorienting in Raw is a series of unfired ceramic sculptures that appear as a reassemblage of the shards and fractures and therefore they look unstable and fragile. Breakage makes the most important part of this body of work and the sculptures are tearing and breaking apart in a process that is out of the artists' control, and as a result of the natural vulnerability of clay. I have also peeled back from the saturated bright colors in the original designs of these patterns and left them with the muted colors of the unfired clay which highlights the abstraction from the traditional and ritualistic methods of creating Persian tiles. By not finishing them in conventional ways of dealing with clay through glazing and firing, I am unleashing the possibility for change within each of these sculptures.
