-These pieces for me were an investigation into craft and the absurd object, the tool without a function, the material without purpose. On the post-it notes I wrote glaze and clay body respites that both went into the testing for and final piece. In a coded way the object is basically trying to say what it is, which is why it was so important for me to get the craft correct. It is extremely ironic for an object to put on an elaborate disguise then tell what it really is anyway. It's like Batman going to great lengths to shield his identity but them never wearing a mask.

Which lead to...
