Long-Term Indoor Installation

Dichotomy

This piece was mainly inspired by museum displays of dissection that feature whole specimens. Traditional dissection diagrams were often detailed, featuring many different descriptions of certain parts. I wanted to represent this by creating a space that resembled the same atmosphere of a museum, equipped with viewing tables and fossilized creatures. I created "amoeba"-like specimens out of air-dry porcelain clay. I built wooden boxes and painted them white to act as extensions of the wall itself. The panels on the wall worked as the diagrams that described the inside of the air-dry porcelain specimens. I'm pleased with the way these turned out because it was exactly how I'd imagined it in my head.

Brining together all of the aspects of art that I find most pleasing in work Ambiguous shapes that are pleasing because of their unknown origin. Natural looking, also soothing to look at The connection between humans and textiles from birth -- there is still a need for this today, for anyone. We sleep with sheets, we adorn ourselves with clo...
