Statements

Project 2
We live in a “right-handers” world. Roughly 90% of the population is right-handed and do not have a need to adapt to tools and equipment. As a result, right-handed people may fail to understand the difficulties left -handed people tolerate by being forced to use these products. The design created intends to form to the curvature of a left hand and is fashioned with an asymmetrical lip for easy pouring, rendering the cup awkward and uncomfortable for a right-handed individual.

Project 1
Tea sets are very commonplace in households across the world. England is a nation closely associated with the act of drinking tea and establishing the customary act of “Afternoon Tea.” A tea set equipped with creamer, sugar, saucers, etc. are traditionally used for this occurrence. This arrangement of interchangeable pieces serves to perform as a focus for social gathering and interaction. It is adorned with traditional blue and white glaze that is used in a more restrained, simplistic way than its historical precedence.


Project 3
Due to the fragile nature of ceramics, it is inevitable to break. Fragmented pieces of what were once funtional items are clustered together to form a sculpture. The space it creates and takes up has its own effects. The structure is not rooted in one place or connected to other pieces. The mobility allows the viewer or participant to rearrange the pieces so that it will never look the same again.
