1) Do you view your work as part of a continuum in ceramic history? Are you building upon tradition/s in your work, or do you feel your work breaks off of, or out of, traditional ceramic concerns?
I feel my work for the past ten years has hovered in a ubiquitous middle-ground. While many of the series I have pursued, like Thirst 1995-97, have been heavily base on the traditions of vessel making and their metaphorical relationships with the body, trade, and socio-economic status. I have found it frustrating at times to find the necessary language within the ceramic genre to fulfill my ideas. The current work which began with an exploration of pollen, has employed more traditional ceramic techniques, such as throwing, hand building and mold making, but has moved further away from the traditional concerns of vessel making. |
