A Force of Attraction, two ceramic objects that sit in conversation, explores the invisible force of gravity. Together, the forms capture and celebrate the relational qualities of this intrinsic force. Each piece, with its own mass, pulls towards the other, mirroring our relationship to earth. 

The pieces’ folds and contours are a direct expression of the clay's transmutability when gravity is acted upon it. Working with extruded forms, the clay is dropped from hand height. In a moment of spontaneous movement, the pull of the earth's mass is translated into a unique form. 

The process allows the contradiction of predictability and unpredictability to occur simultaneously. Inevitably, the material will fall, but what remains unpredictable is the form it will take upon meeting the earth’s surface.
