Bowls of Words

(2019-present) Ongoing project of ceramic bowls

One thing that has always attracted me to pottery is the potential permanence that clay possesses. In the first stage of this idea, I threw, fired and glazed thirty three bowls, decorated with one of three sentences ( I WAS BORN A WOMAN, IT IS A SERIOUS THING JUST TO BE, MASTERS WERE FEARFUL) I felt spoke of who we are as a society at this time. Inspired by ancient texts, ceramic law cones and the discovery of these artifacts in modern day. With these Bowls of Words I aim to create a document that could be discovered in the future by another civilization. Currently for 2020 I have thrown over 100 bowls, some porcelain, some terra cotta, with the three sentences ( I LOVE YOU, WE ARE ANIMALS, FREE THE FUTURE). The selection you see here are currently for sale for $50 per bowl plus shopping if needed. For inquiries email Ezra at: baldieoner@hotmail.com
