Porcelain, Stitched textiles

28cm x 17cm x 14cm

This work approaches loss and grief as modes of material reconfiguration. Textiles marked by past wear and embedded histories are folded into a clay matrix, entering a sequence of processes in which attachment and undoing are not opposed but coextensive. Firing acts as a catalytic interval in which combustion and consolidation coincide, converting fabric into absence, imprint, and altered topology.

What emerges is a distribution of remains, in which memory appears as a pattern of discontinuities through traces of the textiles and the void. The work situates itself in the indeterminate zone between persistence and disappearance, suggesting that remembrance is constituted in the ongoing work of relating to what is no longer present, and that what endures is less a stable object than a continuing adjustment to, and re-articulation of, those absences.
