Clay materials inherently record their history. Chemical compositions trace the history of clay in space, while physical attributes can recognize the maker’s touch. By choosing clay compositions and working with them in ways that promote this recognition of touch, I interact with the naturality of the materials and evoke memories that are recollections of the making process. The materials that I use are also reactive to the atmosphere in which it is fired. Material and fire interact, allowing for the atmosphere to be imprinted onto the surface of the vessels, recording this dialogue as a painting of memories. With everyday use, I believe that the vessels memories are recognized, all while the user forms their own memories. These memories accumulate and form a relationship between vessel and user. Because of this, vessels are constantly changing, creating an accumulative experience and heightening the quality of life through thought-provoking reflection.
