As a ceramic artist, I explore the form and function of objects used in the daily rituals of serving food and drink. I am interested in the personal sentiment and nostalgia that develop with repeated use of these functional objects. To explore the relationship between the user and the object, I remove the original serving function of the object and leave behind a decorative skeleton. The work reveals the essence of the original form, giving the viewer an opportunity to construct a personal memory of the ritualistic act of using the object.
