The Intimacy of Objects

Experience; empiricism, cause behind memory, ignited and recalled through interaction with form and recognition. Objecthood, artefacts as portals to memory, connections to places and relations.

Selective, through choice of retaining so to recall such experiences, coming together, a new creation, a still life.

Creating an archaeology of identity, economically inexpensive now everlasting, in porcelain. Irony, always present, drawing attention to items in your surroundings.

The material is deliberately appropriated, an externalisation in 3D of values and familiarities, an extension of what you know.
