BEFORE AND AFTER VASES

2019
raw clay, velvet, tile floor, plastic bat

the before vases in the green ware stage of making

three vases all alike altered through force accepting and retaining marks, traces of one another

interact: act in such a way as to have an effect on another; act reciprocally

a bat

a clay painting

a moment of separation clay from clay

vessel from board

finished from started

i’ll collect one hundred used bats

enough to fill a wall

and spray them everyday keeping them malleable

allowing them to alter over time

dripping into one another

never reaching bone dry

remaining in a state of in between
