Subsidence

Subsidence

ceramic, metal coating 2021

This ceramic stylized Orca is part of a larger exhibit called “The Whale in the Room” which explores the impact of mankind on the natural world.

In creating this Orca series, I use their form as a mantra that I repeat with structural variations and textural patterns to elicit a sense of disappearing, dissolution and discorporation.

With Subsidence, I wanted to explore a way to evoke implosion. The end result is stylized, segmented, and perhaps evocative of a symbolism that isn’t actually rooted in any tradition.
