Creation Fiction 

This work creates a space for you to reimagine the making act from new perspectives.  When you look through the vessel mouth you will see a film that searches for a clay’s-eye-view of the vessel’s becoming.  Instead of the god-like gaze of a maker looking down upon their creation I journeyed inside the vessel and filmed upwards during the building process.  The film evokes alternative fictions that decentre the human in our creation narratives and challenges our understanding of how a pot or any thing comes into being.
