Creating art allows me to heal the parts of me I struggle expressing aloud. Seeking beauty in tragedy seems to be where I am always drawn to; in attempt to confront my past and find faith, forgiveness, and emotional restoration. My final presentation introduces myself as an artist and dives further into some of my past works that I hold most meaningful to me. More excitingly, my final presentation also pitches a concept for a potential B.F.A exhibition thesis.
Branching from a recent work of mine, Poor Ventilation #1, this untitled proposition is an intersection of ceramic, photo, and glaze chemistry. I propose to create a series of large-scale, wheel-thrown ceramic vessels. These closed forms will serve strictly as decorative objects, with no functional purpose. On their surfaces, I plan to apply photographic decals of abandoned architecture and found objects—visual metaphors for memories left behind. I will also incorporate experimental glaze techniques that mimic the organic spread of mold and fungus, imitating visual deterioration on a medium known for its permanence. In doing so, I aim to highlight the tension between what is preserved and what decays, drawing parallels to the fragmented nature of memory. There is beauty there, and there always will be.
