RainForest
I created my body of work to show how much we rely on the resources of the rainforest and how we should be appreciative of the rainforest giving us the tools we need to help human and animal populations. I chose to make bowls because they were the easiest to make out of all the other forms. I wanted to do something unique that no one usually does that often by making use of texture. I used the colors to represent the forest and the animals and trees in the forest. I made my work unique by adding texture by putting dots of glaze on the inside of my pieces. My personal connection to my work is when I saw a picture of my dad a couple of years ago on a work trip. He was in California and took a picture of a wildfire as he was driving by it. This made me think to myself that we need to eliminate wildfires in general because the woods and the forests do so much for us human and animals! I want my viewers to take away the fact that the colors flow together nicely and the texture is unique. I also want my viewers to take away the fact that the rainforest provides a lot for us and how we should appreciate it.
