These are all photos before anythings been fired. I've been trying to manipulate clay so that it appears delicate and fragile. I did this by making the edges paper thin. I found that the first clay pieces i did were too heave they looked heavy which was the opposite to the transparent and fragile feeling i wanted. This works much better.
These are pieces that are a mixture of throwing on the wheel and slabs that i thined. Loved throwing on the wheel cus the lines really give a feel of movement. Never did it before so was pretty hillarious, some mistakes were good though! The pieces have no base in the centre, the idea is that it is an open space for everything-a transparent space that everything can pass through. When were at our centre, nothing really phases us, we're transparent. Everything happens around our centre, our paths of of movement, our layers of experience, so i moved sheets of clay around the piece, some are pierced to allow light through.
Enjoying the Journey and accepting the unknown!
