In my graduation project, I wanted to create something where the design reflected my relationship to the material (plaster, ceramics and glass). These materials can be so lively, unpredictable and sometimes unmanageable. It’s a symbiotic relationship where both parties are mutually dependent and the balance always is bordering right on imbalance. I wanted to capture a state I’m in with the material, because even if it is difficult and teasing, this is where I will be challenged and get exciting results. This is where I am really passionate about the material and the process! The wooden part reflects me holding a lump of porcelain/glass that melts out of my hands. It’s a partial uncontrolled action, creating a form that satisfies me more than if there is complete control.
