A ceramic object which is a vessel  that is designed for a function which is to contain something    symbolising protection , security and self containment in a metaphorical sense .Through human action of smashing  and manipulating the vessel , the vessel is no longer functional and there for  warped and reflecting the fragile and  changeable nature  of human emotions . Using multiples to show the wide variety of feelings we are able to feel .Using wrapping techniques to show a deep want and need to “fix things ” to make things better .

Asking is the question “Is the pot still a valid object now it is no longer functional , has it become art , have we become art and are art and craft the same thing ?”
