Artist Statement
I seek to evoke a dialogue, both between the object and the user/observer, and also the object and time. With this body of work, I am interested in how ceramics can actualize connections to community through the facilitation of ritual by focusing on specific elements within the objects that enhance the Jewish ritual practice. Most ceramic objects are made for the home, a space in which both daily and religious rituals are commonly practiced. Rituals, often defined as a prescribed series of actions to achieve a heightened experience, can be enhanced by decisions in form, shape, and color that directly influence the manner in which they are practiced. By engaging and refining these subtleties, I aim to make objects that enhance Jewish ritual practice.
