Shifting Grounds, Shadows as Memories presents an installation of white stoneware vessels arranged across two floating shelves in dialogue. These ceramic forms emerged as meditations during a research project—abstract representations of thought made tangible through clay.
The vessels, which I have come to describe as "shadows," create their own landscape. Yet this is not a fixed composition. The work exists as part of an ongoing series where I continually arrange families of ceramic forms, exploring different arrangements in a temporal practice that mirrors the evolving nature of thought itself.
Each shadow embodies a vague idea, and their juxtaposition becomes essential to the work's culminating meaning. The space between groupings, the relationships formed across the shelves, and the potential for rearrangement all speak to how memories and thoughts shift and reorganize over time.
