My current series of work is an exploration of the border between an object and the space it contains. I dissolve objects, reconstitute them, cover them in layers and rearrange the parts. I have been altering raw bricks, sometimes by suspending them in water. I watch the particles detach, revealing a new sort of structure within. Other times I will hammer an unfired brick, looking at the difference in the shear pattern from its fired cousin. I snap bricks, covering them with a surface that creates tension and heating them until they split. I’ll make a shell, fire it, break it off, refill it and start again.
