An exploded ceramic sculpture inspired by the existential noise ‘boum’ as it appears in E.M. Forster’s Passage to India.
The clay body was developed through a systemic process, which involved testing the qualities of 90 different combinations of materials. The final sculpture contained popcorn. The kernels popped and vaporized in the firing process. The result was a semi-chaotic form evolved/devolved from a carefully architected and executed primary shape.
