Future Aliens
Central St Martins, BA Ceramic Design. 2024.
What Happens When we stop living and become artefact?
Future Aliens is a collection of works and performances that recreate stories we tell about ourselves in clay. What will we leave behind?
Radioactive waste will outlive civilisations.
I used Samarium Oxide, which is used in nuclear reactors, to create a glaze that glows under UV light. It transforms ceramics into modern artefacts and turns us into archaeologists, excavating our own futures to see it through alien eyes.
Familiar objects become ghosts of themselves when rendered in porcelain. Secret messages left on the surface are obscured by layers of glass and clay. They become more foreign the further we move into the future.
A physical manifestation of the ways we remember and are remembered.
