Viscous Matrix, 2021.
Ceramic, Wax, Wool, Yarn, Thread, Beads.

Project Description: 
Reclaiming the language from doctors, Viscous Matrix is a figurative representation of chronic pain from the connective tissues.  Humans are all only made of cells.  This figure is taken over by the painful cells, consuming their body.  The inside of the body is hidden, with all its mishaps and malfunctions, this narrative piece explores invisible chronic illness.  

Visual Description:
A baby blue ambiguous figure with cut out eyes and mouth.  Beads and wool trickle down from the mouth, eyes, nose, and ears.  The ceramic figure is coated in a thin layer of wax and looks like skin from a distance.  From the chest down the figure fades into bumpy cells.  The pink cells are glossy with glaze.  Ceramic spheres as cells form at the bottom of the piece.  Hanging strands of blue and purple yarn hang down with crocheted pink spheres.  Peeking out from the inside of the figure are wool purple spheres that were crocheted.
