This current body of work explores the limits of functionality and familiarity through interactive ceramic sculpture. Intimately concerned with the autonomy and becoming of queer bodies. I work to build modifications of sensorial experience while drawing on motifs of idealized gender, and thinking through cyborg as a social identity. The ties of clay to creation mythologies of human and nonhuman bodies uniquely suits it to the making of new body parts. Both the fired clay and the greenware constructions are formed from traditional hand building techniques - often built directly onto my own body during the process. This can be physically intense, forcing my body into abnormal contortions. The experience of the objects isn’t intended to be immediately comfortable or entirely accessible to the audience. Their non-intuitive nature contrasts with the aim of the everyday object in ceramic design. Examining when objects start to become restrictive, control our movements, or take on a life of their own. These issues of access and the questioning of functionality is a familiar part of living with a disability, and interacts with the queer art of failure.
