Mission Sustainability

February 1st – June 20th 2022, Ceramics

Mission Sustainability is my personal inquiry project. It is not just one, but several pieces of art made to brighten up my room and help to stop the buying of cheap plastics that are destroying this earth.

I made 3 things, a small dish with mushrooms lining the outside, a medium sized patterned mug, and a painting of a mountainous landscape! I wanted to make objects that I would be guaranteed to use and love, that I could put in my room and keep them for a very long time, instead of buying the same objects made of toxic materials that are killing our planet. These works involve several different media, including ceramics, acrylic paint, and more!
