In recent history the spread of industrial technologies into the world has grown exponentially, therefore changing how we interact with each other and our environment. I am inspired by communication between the natural and artificial, Faberge eggs and Hieronymus Bosch’s use of vacancy.
In this creative thesis the intermingling of human nature and industry is explored through process and material use of ceramics and metal. The combination of porcelain and metal is of particular interest to me because of the stereotypical contrast created by the fragility of ceramic against the rigid property of the metal. The juxtaposition of the two different physical properties holds a relationship I consider to be similar to the one humans have with many aspects of the vast industrial world.
