As humans and society have evolved, living has become more abstract and individualized. This report on the creative project discusses the artistic process and how each of the five works personalized or called attention to the abstractness of a beholder's existence. Each of the mixed-media works centered around a hand-built ceramic granary form which referenced the human drive to store resources. During exhibition at Ball State University, beholders would construct an association to storage by resolving the disparities caused by the mix of images and materials in each artwork.The artistic process was defined into three categories of experiences: personal investigation, experimentation and skill-building. A major component of personal investigation was the development of the Visual Vocabulary, a collection of devices, images and ideas from the artist's life experiences. The experimentation category occurred when the elements of the visual vocabulary were conceptualized into a scenario for an artwork. The physical work involved in making each artwork was part of the skill-building category. How each work was constructed and the exhibition was also discussed. / Department of Art

The creative project involved the exploration and to cone 06 in an development of eight large handbuilt ceramic vessels. False bottoms, double walls, and amorphous forms were constructed inside the vessels and textured with various implements. To create contrast on the exterior of the forms, a variety of experimental glazes, porcelain slips, and stains were applied. The pieces were then fired electric kiln. After this process, the outer surfaces were manipulated again with the use of a sandblaster and sandpaper.Each piece created for this project had a particular character and life of its own. A constant factor also remained in the work, which held it together as a whole. / Department of Art
