Broken Shell and Fossilized Growth, composite sculptures project, Unconventional Clay, February 2025
For one of our first projects in Unconventional Clay, we were tasked with creating around five earthenware forms to then trade with classmates, combining each other's parts to make two abstract composite sculptures. For both of my sculptures I thought loosely about a juxtaposition between white bone or coral forms and pulsing red entities.
