Unconscious Associations Series by Shiloh Gastello

This series is inspired by the fragile and ephemeral nature of the human body. Memory is explored through constructing forms using thin layers of slab-built porcelain and combining found/augmented objects. My explorations focus on the psychology of the anthropomorphized gestures of found furniture and fractured ceramics to incite a dialog between user and object. Exploring the gesture of objects that we interact with daily is implemented to subtly increase awareness of how objects can relate to our own bodies. Objects can also act as conductors for memory to incite exploration of the past.
