Artist Statement:
When you first look at this box, you will notice a white dresser with a purple drawer with diamonds that create pattern. When you look to the sides, you will see 4 images; a red book, a pink macaroon, rocks, and a green heart. My artwork is made of clay and many different colors of glaze. to get the sides of the bowl, I threw slabs and cut out 4 sides with two congruent pairs. the big idea behind my artwork is my childhood/life before high school. all of the images and patterns displayed on my piece represent parts of my childhood I enjoyed. My goal for this artwork was to make something that would remind me of my happy childhood while stretching myself with using different techniques. I like my artwork because it gives me happy memories and I know that I stretched myself.
