This work is from a 3 week residency at FROOTS Gallery Studios, Jingedezhen, China. The work I created during the residency was initially inspired by two series of my past work, Shapes and That's Okay. During the residency I had the opportunity to work with different materials and in a different environment. In the end, this residency and the body of work that resulted was novel for my practice as I found I began to work in a less structured fashion and the sculptures begin to express the elasticity and malleability of the clay more clearly than I had in the past.
