CEREMONY, 2018.
Porcelain coated animal bone, iron-rich glaze & gold lustre. Variable dimensions, 2018.
Ceremony continues from an incremental series, Remains, which began in 2014. These pieces exhibit the development of an experimental process and ultimately encourage individualized, metaphorical interpretation.
In a broad sense, Ceremony explores traditions of preservation, commemoration and honorary material use while also investigating concepts of resilience, permanence and memorialization. The refinement of these ideas alongside the material-based experiments of series’ such as Ceremony inform larger scale projects, which are the primary focus of my art practice.
