Objects of contemplation, thrown porcelain balanced forms and lotus bowls. 

​

In the points of stillness, a pause, a moment to be present, to notice, we connect with ourselves, those around us and the world around us. The practice of yoga helping you to undo learnt behaviours and beliefs to return to more of your true nature, true-self, your individual consciousness, allowing you to become more aware and present.

In combining my practices of yoga and ceramics I use material properties of thrown, trimmed and carved porcelain, process, forms and outcomes as embodied metaphors of a lived experience of yoga. Drawing on accepted personification of pots as bodies, containers of life, to represent individual consciousness - the true-self. Combined with boundary metaphor, circles as cycles of life - to orientate self within place, world, environment, within the whole – within universal consciousness.

The objects of contemplation I’m showing at Collect are individual pieces, a pot and a circle/curved form, which when combined lift and hold each other at a point that they cannot rest at on their own. Finding balance and harmony, stillness, in connection, in relation.
