Ceramics - Flower Container

We got an assignment at school to make some kind of container for any kind of flower.
The first thing I thought about was a birdhouse with a flowerpot on top of it.
Made a building plan for it:


But I changed plans and made something that is better suited to my vision.

I got inspired by something I saw somewhere at a store:



We always buy a plant with a temporary plastic container around it.
I wanted to give that plastic container a second life.





The idea is: To 'attach' them to each other by shackles.




Now I can start produce a lot off them to create a kind of snake or caterpillar.

The conclusion of this project is: The containers who normally hit the bin, after the plant is planted. Now they have a second life as toys for kids. They can make a string and fantasize that it is a snake or caterpillar. 

Final result:





Material: Porcelain

Tetris is your friend, or isn't it?

The next project I am about to start goes like this: I want to make a closet but not just a normal closet but one that doesn't stand on the ground but hangs on the wall, like a painting.  I do not make shelves in it as well, so the pieces stand just on top of each other.  With pieces I mean the 5 shapes that are used in the 'Tetris game'. I would like to call all the pieces together table ware. Although it are only 5 shapes and they are only good for little dishes, table ware is still the best specification .  The part where it involves my point of view as an artist is that this 'painting' can be reorganised by the owner, and I like the fact that because of all the pieces standing op top of each other you can't take what ever you want you have to find your way through.  The repetition of the shapes make the whole work together a very interesting piece of art to look at. I started by working out the shapes/components in paper to get an impr...

This is going to be my year, although I am going to try my very best to make this my year, my year. It means I am going to graduate around May 2013. For this I am working on a big project and I want it to be stunning, mind blowing and more! To begin with, I want to take my Tetris project as a base for this new project. The elements that fascinated me are: - The pieces all together make something new (this can be changed every time). - The role that the owner has towards his own work. - The multifunctional pieces, they can be used for other purposes as well. With this in mind I started thinking about this new project.  Somewhere during the summer holiday I found this pictures of myself. I am around 1 year old. I put it in a frame, and I became more fascinated every time I looked at it. Me being so unaware of what is going to come up to me in live, having so much fun that very moment. I am happy. So I wanted to use this photo of ...
