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.
