Blood and Bones - JENNY JUDGE

"Bound by Earth, Blood and Bones" is a work in progress that consists of multiple ceramics pieces. The molds for the forms were generated as part of the 'Wonderment Series" and used in this piece to create three-dimensional structures out of ceramics. In the leather hard state ceramics allows for carving and different surface finishes. I also found that they had an amazing density when formed into a three dimensional object that made me think of the human body.

It touches on the common ground that we are all bound together by the earth, our blood of life and structure of bones. This work is a visceral reaction to generational life events such as death and birth, and the strength of the human bond.
