‘Flesh’

This series creates a juxtaposition between the materialised form of ceramic, a medium that ceases disintegration after thousands of years contrasts the surface design of flesh and the body; The ephemerality of life and the body with the permanent state of ceramic form is done with intention to connect with the world around me even after my body is gone. Even though we as a species view body as the representation of the persona, the forms of these pieces are warped and flowing to counter humanities great need to reflect the self through perfect replication. I am not my body, my mind can only perceive parts of me in this anthropomorphic perplexing cluster of nothing and everything. It is through my later diagnosis that this questioning of self prevails.

This series interacts in its physicality of my replicated body, the outside world, and between is the thin glass glaze forlornly detaching each.
