PORCELAIN VOIDS

Voids explores the physical and emotional transitions to what we can not see personally and universally. Living in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina visually felt like a robbery. So much had been emotionally and physically taken, stolen. The smooth, wax coated exterior feels organic yet is manmade and the nothingness inside speaks to the purly organic. There is a contradiction between the creamy surface, the hard clay that holds the emptiness held inside. Voids simultaneously hold what is missing or lost in a form that feels like the remnant of a fallen house. They are protected and vulnerable at the same time.
