Clay as a physical substance persists in sustaining our material consciousness, even within the context of a clean, user-friendly, and technologically based digital age. I find this dichotomous circumstance very intriguing. The amorphous possibilities of clay continue to be influenced by the ambiguous context which we call virtual reality. Outdated, yet analogous to the infinite possibilities of digital form, the plastic quality of clay serves as a relatable and familiar construct for affirming an adaptive hybrid psychology between physical and virtual realities. I am interested in how digital material will continue to influence our notion of physical form in reciprocal and possibly reactionary manners. My work continues to explore these influences and possibilities in form and concept, reconsidering the notion of function within the hand-made discipline of ceramics.
