Signs of Life
ARS Ceramic Centre, Tallinn, Estonia 2020.
Signs of Life was completed as the final work of a two-month residency. The inspiration for the forms came from buoys, markers, and weights. They are signs of life guided, saved, or fished for. While nautical instruments are typically very pragmatic, removed of their color and setting the soft white forms appear supple and feminine. I wanted to create a rhythmic space where some pieces appear to float while others are heavy. Taken out of context, the forms are meant to be ambiguous - a buoy or a rolling pin - based on the viewer’s own perspective.
