“The meaning of a text is not determined by the author’s intention, but rather by the reader’s interpretation.”
The meaning of an object is not determined by its maker, but by the person who encounters it.
Roland Barthes | 1967 | The death of the author
Clay is a material defined by its capacity to remember.
It is, after all, only the sum of all it has encountered, a sort of archive of contact and time. This is why, the work to me, kinda lingers in a state of unresolvedness, until it can complete itself through its encounter with someone else.
Here, the work is dissolved into a fragmented gathering of words, and pixelated images that act as shadows of the vessel's actual form. Their physical selves lie dormant in my studio, till the day they’re interpreted anew in someone else's hands.
You'll find the ceramic work available to collect below.
