Description

Fired ceramic sculpture in black and white clays.

60cm long x 45cm wide x 30cm tall.

This sculptural carcass of a broken amphora is overcome with ceramic fins/lips which slowly digest and reconstitute it. Inverted from its original form, the creation of a new life can only be brought about through destruction of the old.

The amphora bears the relic markings of the 224 new moons that passed between my first menstruation and the final new moon of my gender-affirming hysterectomy.

It is a goodbye that honours the imposed gender expectations I had to live through. By marking and respecting that time. And remaking it to birth the next stage of my life.

Made in 2024.
