C048

Formed from New Zealand clay, this bowl’s layered, textured surfaces bear a burnt appearance. Metal staples hold fragments together referencing Ju Ci, the ancient Chinese method to repair ceramics. A darkened interior reveals subtle textures, evoking memory’s traces and the raw, uneasy emotions of displacement, loss, and identity’s lasting imprint.

Currently on exhibition at The Waiclay National Ceramics Awards. See events for details
