This is one of the ceramic pieces I made in college.
This was my favorite project of the four that I completed in my college pottery class. The class was much different than the one I had taken in high school, and we were expected to make more abstract, fine artwork, rather than crafts from our favorite books. We were asked to make ten copies of two separate ceramic pieces of our choice.
I spent a lot of my fine art career exploring geometric abstraction, before I was introduced to graphic design and geometric concepts like layout and logos. I decided to design and create ten boxes and ten connectors that could stack the boxes at a diagonal. All ten of each piece needed to be as exact as possible for the stacking to work. When we displayed our final projects, mine was unique in that it could be taken apart and put back together in many ways, with varying heights and levels. I also secretly designed the piece so that plants could be placed inside each box.
