Notes
Art major, BYU. Artist statement: "As a primary child, I loved the story of the Jaredites’ journey to the promised land. One phrase that always stuck out to me for its ambiguity and almost playfulness was “tight like unto a dish.” So I decided for this rendition of a Jaredite barge, what better way to represent the barge than to make it with a literal dish? This piece was made by making a ceramic jar using a raku firing technique with newspaper and woodchips. I used a cone 4 glaze. I then took a photo of the jar and manipulated the photo to add patterning reminiscent of pueblo pottery that was popular in ancient American civilizations."
