Ceramic Project


                                       
   In the combustion process, clay is transformed to ceramic. The soft and malleable clay arrives at a different physical state through this process. Unlike other materials, when burnt, clay takes up a solid and consistent form, but also becomes fragile to external shock. ‘Solid but fragile’ is an interesting quality of a ceramic. Such ironic properties of the ceramic triggered me to question, ‘perhaps it is easily breakable because it has become too solid.’ This idea made me take interest in ceramics as an artistic material for my works.

   I have transformed the most important objects of our daily household into ceramics, those that withstand most force, or those that carry out the dirtiest tasks. I attempt to feel the ‘difference’ or ‘distinction’ created in this process of changing a part of the object into ceramics. The aim is to refresh our dulled senses and perspectives through this difference.
