My ceramics work made in the wintersession course Pottery began to tackle the same ideas and ideology fueling my thesis collection in Apparel Design of the same name. My ceramics work addressed similar notions of queer experience, identity, diy ethos and mental health. I worked predominantly with molds, porcelain and white earthenware. I slipcast spraybottles and nail polish bottles as gendered objects reformed in a callous or caustic manner. Altogether the manner of diy creation lends itself to a greater question of "quality" where cracks, breaks and deliberately broken vessels speak to the process of making and experience. Objects are broken and held together with band aids, thread, dental floss, or are scratched away with text and pigment creating both interest and disgust.
