Arch Teapots - slipcast porcelain from original moulds
This is the last teapot mould I fabricated before leaving my studio space at UW-Madison. I enjoyed the engineering problems associated with creating a six-piece mould for the body along curved sides. 8x6.25x3.25"
I am an artist producing primarily ceramics and screen prints. I received a BFA and Philosophy Major from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My output meanders from functional ceramics to aleatoric screen prints to more conceptual clay sculpture. I'm interested in intention versus arbitrariness in a work of art, and blurring the lines between art, science, and philosophy.
