Destruc(crea)tion, 2018

Ceramic vessels created with the intention of activating with bread dough. These vessels ‘self destructed’ in a private performance for the camera at the artists studio. The last images show the remains or relics post performance that carry the scars from the volatile performance act. The work was activated in the artists studio during her time as AIR at Crosstown Arts in December of 2018.
