Abstract: This body of work functions as an exhaustive investigation into the haptic boundaries of clay, serving as a "Technical Lexicon" for a broader research practice. Moving between high-gloss surfaces and raw, textured finishes. These studies document my transition from entropic, chaotic compositions to resolved formal unity. A systematic laboratory record of an emerging technical and formal literacy required to execute complex material and conceptual inquiries. It establishes a recognition of the "object as archive," where the ceramic body holds the physical memory of the maker’s process.
