Thrown walls are the core of the movement and manipulation that defines my work. In order to create change I extend the boundaries of my work, altering formal elements and integrating new tools allowing for slow evolution. Molds copy and replicate, creating something new within something that was considered finished. Color is considered to be a tool, which entices, identifies, and accentuates form and space.</p><p>Grids are utilized as a means to avoid language, but grids applied to material, create references to other material things, architecture and upholstery. These references of interior and exterior, plays between soft and hard, balancing and contradicting one another. The relationship of simplicity and complexity, balancing to activate surface and object articulately</p><p>Beginning with previously considered pottery forms that are altered through movement, the process extends the wall is unraveled, laid flat and reconsidered within a new non-continuous format. It becomes tile, which can be replicated to re-create the continuous nature that the round forms embodied with in a larger field. In the end I came back to the re-considerations of objects, their relationships to each other, in relation to people and their surroundings.</p> 2010-09-15 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1276841570 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1276841570 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
