This series of vessels attempts to recast my experiences of being a new immigrant in this country into personal monuments. The monument then serves as a meditation on the idea and history of displacement. These works play with the materials response to gravity. Form is built through stacking material like bricks, like layers of sediment only later to be suspended on stilts and fired.

This group of new work opens up for possibilities to fail. Residues of failure, produced during the process, can inspire as much as a finished object. By paying attention to the shards, the leftovers, the underlying structures of the ceramic process, the approach of making ceramics becomes more fluid and malleable.

This body of functional works involve an investigation into the potential of ceramic vessels as a means of metaphor and storytelling utilizing different ceramic processes.
The body of work is a kind of collage, merging historical ceramic forms, glazes, and firing techniques. Shards produced during the process become part of the finished object. Vessels historically thrown become fabricated and deconstructed through industrial processes.
