CAPSTONE PROJECT
DETAIL FLOWER PLATTER
Working with clay gives me the ability to represent people. Clay slumps, cracks, breaks, warps, and expands just as we all metaphorically do. I use clay’s natural characteristics to emphasize the fluidity and surface in my work. The integration between surface, form, and function is where I test the limits. My work consists of concepts that test the boundaries of maximalism and extravagant function. Walking the line of what is too much and not enough. What and where is the start point of excess? What is the limit?
