The necklace ended up being at least 30 feet long, so it was decided to change it to two Unwearable pieces where we hung it one over the other laying it on a plinth

A number of my pieces were de-constructed , re-used in a second exploratory piece and re-fired at a higher temperature over 1000 degrees.

The results are different with such a vibrant popping of the colours.

While I was investigating how I wanted to layer with spices to create a visually interesting sculptural piece, I returned to one of the first practices we learned in ceramics elective workshops of using paper to create the structure first before we moved to clay.

Ceramics Elective 2nd project.

For this second project we have been tasked to create a piece of clay which represents our experience of the 5 senses.

TASTE

I choose to go with the striking SIGHT of SPICES.

To collect my first primary research I went to the local Indian/Asian foodstore and took some images of spices and colourful vegetables.

I also bought some spices and brought them home to begin studying them for my next piece.

Sculpture elective

Attempting my first draft at the “Chain reaction “ movement brief.

I will need to rework my ideas , this was not a task I completed in a day. I didn’t manage to get my ball to roll down the ramp successfully consistently.

This task was not something I felt anyway comfortable with, it was hard to keep it simple as many moving parts are required within a small scale and a short time to design.

This is a video of primary research from a local river.

I tried to capture the surf and undulations of the water into some of my designs.
