Artifact 1124

Artifact 1124 is made using ceramic slip-casting and hand-building techniques, then aged to give a distressed feel. This ceramic piece deliberately evokes the feeling of an ancient object unearthed from forgotten civilizations, yet exists firmly in the present moment of its making.

The work questions our assumptions about historical value and cultural significance by creating something that appears to be from the past. Through careful manipulation of ceramic surfaces and forms, the sculpture embodies the tension between the deliberate and the weathered, inviting viewers to consider their relationship with history and cultural memory.
