| dc.description.abstract | The artist's statement: 1. Chair: a physical object that provides a place of support for a human body. 2. Sculpture: to make or represent, through action of process, a two- or three-dimensional object made of any material. 3. Clay: a fine-grained soil material consisting of hydrous silicates of aluminum and other sedimentary minerals, that is plastic when wet and brittle when dry. The substance of the human body; the human body as distinguished from the spirit. 4. Body: the physical structure of a person; the main part of something; a distinct material object. A clay body is the culmination of a variety of raw materials, with the main ingredient being clay, that yields a workable material. In reference to clay, a body is the main clay component with other raw materials that is separate from glaze. 5. Power: the ability to exert control, to varying degrees, and influence other persons, objects, or actions. Material informs value. Material brings specific meaning to the work. Material uses architecture to express new ideas about space. Material creates body. Material is used in an unexpected way. Vessels mimic the human body. The material adapts to the human body. Material reveals the body. Material needs body. Body needs material. Body dictates material. Lines understand the body. Clay directly on a floor is suggestive of earth and defines space. Division of space dictates how the user interacts with an object. Values are imposed by the maker, the audience, and by the object itself. Consistent material use diminishes a hierarchy. Repetition of texture in the objects and space they are in creates one cohesive work. Repetition creates cohesion and unity in space. Chairs are sculpture. Negative space explains the chair. Shape, line, and form present material. The form will communicate if it's approachable. Lines relating to each other throughout an object create the object. Line delineates the space of a shape. Curation of space allows for marginalized groups to dictate their spaces. The object and its placement allow the user to choose their desired privacy. The objects give the user an air of space. Invisible lines implied by the object guide the user. The object situates the user. Culture will influence the experience with an object and space. Organized material, form, and space embodied by the chairs allow them to become tools to clearly dictate a space. This dictation helps provide agency for marginalized groups. Although the space is meant to have wide access, the intent is to prioritize groups who are commonly othered. Site specific placement in public places provides access. | en_US |
