Motile: JUST ADD WATER
As a child, I spent hours playing in the stream by my home. It was through this play that I began to explore the idea of creation within the aquatic ecosystem.
With my sculpture, I attempt to connect elements of play and scientific theory by making ceramics - a weighty medium derived from the natural elements of earth and fire - float. While the sculptures I've created are not conceived from direct source material, they are derived from basic microbiological forms and concepts.
The environments in which I place these sculptures are designed to activate the pieces, transforming them into elements of play, and removing them from the static form that ceramics traditionally take. I have also used simple devices to add kinetic and sonic elements to the work, allowing the pieces to oscillate, swirl, bob, cluster and even reverberate.
