Convex Folds
Convex Folds represents a series of ceramic sculptures that delve into the boundaries of material and the nuances of form.
Each layer of the folded structure comprises a thrown clay sphere enclosing trapped air, which is liberated upon cutting and compressing. This deliberate action instigates areas of stress and tension on the surface. I guide the clay to create a form that communicates contained energy, motion, and a narrative of the making process.
