99 Crocheted Vines

fired and unfired porcelain paper clay, handmade paper clay, organic material
12′ x 23′ x 16′

The piece is made of 99 hand crocheted 14’ vines hosting small, delicate handbuilt ceramic bloom forms. The vines extended from ceiling to floor creating an intimate space that the viewer could walk into and be surrounded by density yet transparency. This piece reflects on observation host dynamics within ecosystems with specific focus hosts and are noticeably delicate. This theme of hosts having extreme physicality of growth to continue to thrive can also be found in my installation Re-Generation.
