'The Seven Fateful Experiences' are compiled of 7 abstract ceramic sculptures each holding a significant memory of a negative experience in the artists life. This installation touches on memory and emotions and how each makes up the present day human. Textural elements and colour theory play a large role in the work with trigger points that enable the audience to reflect on certain aspects of their own life.
Within the 7 components of this installation, the artist touches on bullying, 'Sticks and Stones and Words', loss, 'Traditional Loss', body dysmorphia, 'Cover Up', peer pressure, 'Divergent', mental health, 'Twisted Thoughts', coercion, 'Tied Down', and healing in the present, '(W)hole Again'.
The artist has incorporated both wheel, handbuilt and slipcasted elements using a variety of fabric materials, sensory additives and plinths. Additionally, an array of glaze components have also been showcased to best encapsulate each specific memory. This installation showcases the depths of the artists different learnt ceramic practice variations and multiple unique processes.
