My Heart

I designed this piece to reflect on how someone's true soul can become hidden. The darkening of the rings from the inside out symbolize how the further one strays from their inner self, the more corrupted and untrue they can become. The rings were thrown on the wheel to remain smoothly symmetrical and polished. The clay rings were closed into hollow tubes to reduce weight and allow the rings to be suspended to create three dimensional movement. However, the heart at the center was hand built to maintain an organic shape.

For me creativity is a process of transforming one thing into something entirely new. It involves varying amounts of imagination, keeping an open mind, problem solving, risk taking and skill. Creativity allows me to get into a flow and step away from the stress of school and work.
