Abstract
The trajectory of this thesis will chronicle the evolution of my MFA candidacy research at The Ohio State University. My work began with an interest in surface that ultimately shifted to a procedure and material-oriented practice that expresses my desire to map memory through ceramic process. My vessels push against traditional notions of functionality combined with a desire to interact with form. Within the realm of ceramic form, issues of flaws and beauty within functional wares drive my work. Using variations of the multiple, I explore individuality. Substantial forms that emphasize the rims, body, and feet of the vessels provide areas for modification. Variation is also derived from anomalies in the ceramic material. I push the clay to its physical limits, testing the edge of functionality, and looking for the moment where engagement meets use.
