Inquiry
06/2022, Ceramics Dishes
Aidan Starr
My inquiry project is a mix of three ceramic dishes that I aspired to make and represent my creativity and personality. They individually challenged me but gave me the opportunity to learn and grow. Each piece was inspired by nostalgic memories, and made with the intention to be used in my everyday life.
English Breakfast
The pink and white mug, English Breakfast, was made to honour my grandmother. Spending the afternoon drinking tea with her was an incredibly meaningful component of my childhood and is a cherished memory of mine. The white represents the simplicity that I find visually pleasing, and the pink is symbolic of love.
Fragile Heart
The heart shaped plate, Fragile Heart, was made with the intention of holding crystals. I have been collecting crystals for the past few years, and they are a part of my everyday life. Many of my crystals have come from meaningful people, so I created this plate for the purpose of my crystals having somewhere to be displayed.
Overcast
The blue clouded bowl, Overcast, was inspired by the skies that I have observed whilst in Florida. I have family residing in Florida and have been visiting it since a very young age. One of the most memorable scenes in Florida is the sky, and every time I see it, it brings me peace. The rich blue sky and fluffy clouds are what I recreated on my bowl.
