ARTIST STATEMENT
This piece was inspired by the work of ceramic artist Haejin Lee. One of herpieces is a pair of ceramic feet that give off the appearance that they are unraveling. As an aspiring ceramic artist, I challenged myself to create a piece inspired by the idea of the unraveling feet. I have been dancing my entire life, and whenever I feel stressed, intensely happy or sad, I look to dance as my outlet. Thus, since I always express my feelings through dance, I wanted to use another one of my passions (ceramics) to express my love for dance. As a result, I created a ceramic ballet pointe shoe that gives off the appearance the ribbons are unraveling, since I always turn to my passions of dance and ceramics when I feel as though my own life is uncontrollably unraveling. |
