AP 3D Studio
In my AP class, I'm focusing on the merging of the vessel and emotion.

Glass Test Pieces
I have worked with broken glass multiple times, however this is the first time I fired it in the lower temperature. It was a complete accident. I just wanted them to be fired so I loaded them in to the bisque kiln firing. They turned out differently from what I was expecting. In high fire, the glass melts fully in the kiln and breaks creating a broken glass look. In the low fire, the glass does not get hot enough to melt fully, so it only smooths out the edges some. In the cooling process it gives the glass a frosted finish.
Sustained Investigation
This is the process of this project. The glass melts fully in the high fire kiln and cracks in the cool down process.

In this work I wanted to focus on the idea of pain and sorrow by creating vessels and adding foreign objects like nails to help portray the emotion behind the concept. The nails represent a ''knife in the back" as the feeling of being betrayed. The focus in this is not much of physical pain but the emotional side that some times can be more detrimental to a person than physical pain.
