Portfolio > Archive 001 [installation with spectral array]

Archive 001 is an accumulation of flat, paper-like ceramic forms in various sizes that suggest a collection of archival source materials rendered in glazed and unglazed bisque-fired white clay. The work is meant to be open-ended in its meanings and reception, but the idea of the archive is central to my material and philosophical inquiry into the nature of clay and ceramics, an ongoing project that touches upon the archival impulse expressed in the idea of DNA and the transmission of genetic information, in ourselves as keepers of memory, and in clay’s capacity to maintain and communicate form.
