Sludge is a shimmering yet melancholy ode to my last year of undergraduate studies in multidisciplinary arts. My aim was to question what a vessel could be while exploring traditional ceramic embellishments through a self-critical and analytical lens. By selecting coil-building as the construction process, a special and intimate pattern of texture is embedded into the surface. Extraterrestrial forms and dramatic tones exude a feeling of vacancy or ubiquity of space, or, rather, the vastness of self. Within my practice, I like to explore internal and external worlds through vivid color and exploratory textures—all while maintaining ties to sociological topics to spark personal insight and external conversation.
