CERAMIC SHELF
THIS PROJECT EXPLORES THE IDEA THAT WEIGHT IS A PERCEPTION. THROUGH LIFE EXPERIENCE AND MEMORY OF PHYSICAL INTERACTION, WE OFTEN ASSUME THE WEIGHT OF AN OBJECT BEFORE TOUCHING IT. MOST OF THE TIME THESE ASSUMPTIONS ARE CORRECT, BUT WHEN THEY ARE NOT, IT CREATES A MOMENT OF CONFUSION. I WANTED TO EXPLORE THIS BY CREATING AN OBJECT WHERE LIGHTNESS IS NO LONGER PERCEIVED AS LIGHTNESS, IT SIMPLY EXISTS. TO DO THIS, I CREATED CERAMIC OBJECTS THAT RESEMBLE CARDBOARD. THIS PLAYS WITH PERCEPTION, SO THAT ONCE THE OBJECT IS INTERACTED WITH, THE INITIAL ASSUMPTION IS CHALLENGED AND PROVEN WRONG.
