Abstract

My thesis work will explore the use of the ceramic object as metaphor for the self. Due to my strong background and interest in science and mathematics, I have a tendency to process my surroundings through logical order and pattern. I am continuously searching for this order and trying to classify and organize data so that it makes sense to me. Finding this order within chaos, particularly in the natural world, is fascinating. My intention is to reference these biological elements in a form that has a clear delineation between interior and exterior. The dialogue between the two is where my interest lies. I wish to create an experience for the viewer that replicates my sense of discovery with objects; and, in turn, mirrors the human condition.
