The Crucible series urges a conversation between individual and global moments, touching on intimate aspects of this relationship. The porous connection between a lived experience to the far-reaching environment is portrayed through domestic, material manifestations. The artist’s own souvenirs, inherited objects, and hand-built ceramics interface with instances of environmental disaster and geo-planetary disruption. Crucible for rising, rolling, and looping shows a handmade ceramic pot
made by the artist containing a Gasteria “Little Warty” plant juxtaposed in front of NASA imagery of cloud streets forming over the Arctic Barents Sea.
