*Process: Each hand vase begins with a lifecast of an actual hand to make a single-use mold. Oil clay is then poured into the mold to create a positive, which is used to make a two- to four-part plaster mold. The plaster mold is used multiple times for slip casting until it eventually breaks down and needs replacing. This is the gist of a rather lengthy process, with many steps and intricacies in between.

I love this process because it allows me to explore the real within the unreal—a simulacrum of sorts. Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy, subtly distorting along the way. These fragile, ceramic, dangly ‘copies’ are perfect for those drawn to strange and unusual objects in their homes.
