多诺弗里奥贾斯汀

透过陶瓷透镜, I’m exploring the concept of civilization’s authority over landscape and record of construction as a form of time materialized. The geographical layered strata represent fragments or glimpses into the density of every assemblage. I watch as the intersections and overlaps contemplate the dynamic relationship between materiality and landscape and our attempt to utilize it. Each vessel is made using clay that is colored to reference vibrant natural 音调 found in the wilderness. In the work I’ve been exploring the contrasting qualities and connotations of local small batch clay versus industrially mined materials for ceramic industry. 
 
Within this I’m looking for the compositions to explore volume and implied volume to construct a kinesthetic visual experience. 设想一下尖锐和柔软, 干湿两用, clay and ceramic speak to these notions of manicured space in an attempt to cultivate order. Interiors become exteriors, and exteriors are revealed. Minimal manipulation of the materials and the inherent qualities categorized and processed. 我在寻找不同的零件算法, 音调, and colors as visual triggers in relationship to one another. 该制度是不断发展的, 尽管某些特征变得相对固定. 这就变成了结构.  
 
粘土的多种状态引起了我的兴趣. There is an attempt at liberation and cohesion of clay and hand, tethering to a material reality that feels increasingly endangered. 我对粘土的原始音质很感兴趣, 以及如何开火或不开火, 釉料和未加工的粘土在物体中被感知. There is a visual and physical weight of the different states of clay, raw to high fired and everywhere in between and I pay attention and use all with awareness. These concepts are all connected through a form of ideological material inquisition and pursuit of ephemerality within the fading life of wet clay. This concept is harkening back to that physical response to the continuum between clay and maker ceramic or rock and climber.
