#16 Knots
These pieces were inspired by the Petrified Knots by ceramic artist, Pim Sudhikam. Students studied her work and considered the following:
– What are some things (people, ideas, ways of living, habits, ways of thinking, objects) I’d like to make permanent connections to?
– What are some things that I seem permanently connected to or unable to change that I don’t want to be ‘tied’ to?
Students created the knots with these ideas in mind and then they were raku-fired by visiting artist, Kumpol Aiyarapattana.
Perhaps you’d like to consider some of the same questions and think about what the knots might symbolize for you. The spare knot can be intentionally smashed or broken, as a way to represent breaking free.
