functional pottery, sculptural ceramics
Between 2007 and 2009 I worked on a series of Installation pieces constructed with hundreds of ceramic bottles made with casting slip and plaster molds taken from 14 different plastic bottles. I spent an entire summer producing the molds and over 1000 ceramic objects.
The series started with the outdoor sculpture "More," that was created as part of SIUE's sculpture on campus grant program. It was on display for one year on the University's campus. During this period, I created several other pieces by continuing to produce the bottle forms and working with them in different environments.
