A performance and installation that consists of a series of ceramic sculptures. The shapes refer to a variety of ways of storage of generational memory as much as the intense presence of gaps, absence, and fictions in the family narrative. Working with clay is a method to connect to the landscape of my hometown, and to the tradition of passing on and/or gifting ceramics on important occasions in life. The dining table in that sense is a social intergenerational sculpture and an archive of feeling as much as it is a site of holding grief for the absences, loss, and/or broken relationships. Every piece is intended to play a role in a series of performances designed to process traumatic memory.
