Porcelain’s creation story extends beyond individual artistry to encompass countless hands and firing processes across time, a history defined not by seamless progression but essential omissions. Ethical considerations become intrinsic to its material composition as each maker leaves an imperceptible imprint; isolating a singular origin diminishes in relevance when considering the object at varying scales. The impetus for form isn’t a fixed moment, however, but arises from ongoing measurement and observation—a process dependent on perspective. Accepting these layered influences may be more fruitful than seeking definitive beginnings.
