Porcelain, Sawdust, Walnut
Artist Statement.
The permanence of ceramic materials, used in my sculptural pieces, creates a commentary on the wastefulness of today's society. I manipulate materials to show excavation, sedimentation and geologic processes. Subtly floating my work on refined pieces of hardwood lends to the idea of a specimen of artifact in a natural history museum.
By casting porcelain I address the false sense of importance, which is imbedded in products that are made to be obsolete, such as cell phones and computers. Producing multiples of an everyday object is informed by artist of the Pop Art movement, such as Arman, Robert Arneson and Mishima Kimiyo.
