Meghan Tranauskas

The object before me is a box of mirrors, reflecting the boundaries between my own humanity and instinctual movements of the hand. I wonder what becomes our physical relic, and create objects through the lens of investigation between the inherent transformative nature of clay and painted surface. I think of clay as a facilitator for community connection within its inherent transformation. Clay gives power in its transformation. I think this power transforms us when we handle clay for the first time. A mug is not itself, it is not home, until it is in your hands. Without you, it is just stone, flecks of paint, and glass. My paintings are not complete, either, without stewardship, without the request of an audience. The work requests its audience to experience in order to be complete. The narrative requires you to be complete, just as the pot requests its function. In this way, these works become relics of what we know. Art as evidence of our humanity.
