Ceramic craft is guided by tools that come with inherited expectations — how they’re held, what gestures they allow, and the forms they tend to produce.
This project investigates how body, tools, and clay co‑produce form. By making and using tools that have no historical connection to ceramics, I interrupt those inherited expectations and explore how tools shape perception, guide movement, and influence the emergence of sculptural form.
Tools can be seen as relations that shape how the world appears, and as a mediator of our experience of the world – think of the blind cane a visually impaired person uses, how it becomes a mediator to read the surrounding. Or how writing down your thoughts on a piece of paper stabilizes your thoughts in order to memorize it. Tools become more than the extensions of the human body but also shape thought, memory and reasoning, and in turn become a part of the cognitive process itself
The sculptures that emerge are not predesigned outcomes but the result of an ongoing negotiation between tool, body, and material. Each form carries the imprint of the conditions that produced it — the tool’s logic, the body’s reach, and the clay’s behavior.
