Control is hard to come by and even harder to maintain. I have a difficult time with not being in control and often explore that in my work. Working with clay allows me to experiment with letting go in a small way by allowing the material to do as it pleases while maintaining the final say over the piece – controlled chaos, if you will. This piece reflects the way my eating disorder has had control over me at different times in my life, demonstrated by the slumping forms that invoke a sense of exhaustion and emptiness.
