Jayden Anderson "Copper Down"
2024, Clay
Well, the starting idea was to make a vase based on the pitcher plant, and as my ideas normally do it evolved from there into an idea that resembled a vase with small islands. but ended up in this beautiful vase.
I started with the main base and sculpted the spout, another aspect is the inside is a lot larger than it looks with a concave form . and the little groves are from a rubber stamp and are made to look like islands or scales
the island scales can look like a grinder which can symbolize the effects aging has on people and items, all of the witch go in a circle centered by the handle, much similar to the life cycles everything goes through
As an artist this was very difficult due to me never using clay before, I ran into several issues but. still, I persevered to make this piece.
this is an abstract pice of art, it connects to my style due to how it was created, I had a cheesy idea that flopped and turned our several times better.
Jayden Anderson "Splitting Headache"
2024, Clay
It started as an idea for a bat-esk creature however, I didn't want to add the wings so I took it towards a gremlin design and finally ended up on an alien creature with a false head.
It started as a bat-like creature but I could not get a proper bat-looking creature. so I moved on to making an alien esk creature. then finally I decided to
This piece is a representation of how I see my anxiety, on the surface it seems okay, or the idea seems okay. but the longer you look the more unsettling it is.
This piece helped me work with clay that broke in the kiln and how to work around issues that would normally be the end of the piece.
This is an abstract piece of art. It fits into my style of strange, Weird, or scarry due to its appearance.
Jayden Anderson "Deep Dish Bowl"
2024, Clay
The original idea for this piece was just an average bowl, it originally was going to have a lid. I scraped the lid idea and decided to make a thin-sided bowl.
I used a medium-sized slump-drape ring to make the walls of my piece. I cut the extra clay off and trimmed the sides.
This piece doesn't serve any major reasoning behind how it looks, besides mimicry or just because a bowl made to look like deep-dish pizza is funny.
The most difficult part for me had to be cutting the extra off the top without taking too much if I could go back, I would make more of a crust-looking side wall by making it circle in on itself.
This fits into my style by its weird and ironic nature, I specialize in weird and sometimes disturbing pieces.
