Vestiges of Touch

Kiln records demonstrate that heat doesn’t simply shape clay—they preserve the pressure of each hand shaping it, a thermal residue echoing past intention. This protracted interplay isn't about imposing form but extending embodied agency into the material itself, creating lattices reflecting repeated touch. Consequently, definition appears less as an initial act and more as accumulating relational histories within time; this challenges us to understand how vessels hold not only creation, but also unmaking.
