Whispers upon the water's edge
Whispers upon the water's edge is my degree show.
A landscape of pebbles, made in ceramic, all different and unique in shape and color; four big stones where people can sit and take their time; a projection of an ice clock melting in real time, sound of water all around.
With the metaphor of water that gives shape to pebbles over time, I created an installation where time is suspended. Like a mantra, I repeated the same actions day after day in creating the pebbles from clay, never thinking about the final number but focusing on the act of forming and smoothing, almost becoming water myself.
If you feel the desire to linger and search for your pebble, you might find yourself as well.
