Seeds of Potential, 2019. Porcelain & ash.

Larger scale white seeds are surrounded by a patterned exterior which signifies their encoded nature. My aim, to create seeds with an otherness about them. Perhaps reminiscent of sea cucumbers, whilst botanical, they hint at a biomorphic emergence. Eliminating the flowers, pods or cones and increasing the scale of the seeds allows the viewer to investigate the seed itself. I want to bring us into connection with human potential, evoking the viewer to be drawn in closer, arousing a desire to interact with the seed, to contemplate its nature and therefore our own.
