Title:	Signs of Life
Description:	I used an inlay technique for the contour lines and underglazes for the color in this slab built vessel. The design shows imagery of garbage in 4 different contexts: garbage in the home, landfills, fashion waste improperly disposed of on beaches, and old trash mixed in with natural parts of the environment. This weighs human impact on the environment and the fact that regardless of the value we place plastic objects, they will outlast us as the primary signs of our lives and existence. Integrated with the natural world, plastic pollution reshapes how we function. I used a full color palette and crowded composition to convey that it is a collective effect, not the result of a single action. I used textured glazes on the interior of the vessel to look like mold growth and waste on the inside of a dumpster and show beauty in things that have been purposefully ignored.
