Freshman class of 2023
向こう側 (Otherside)
My goal for this art show was to make pieces that reflected my eating habits and my enjoyment of Japanese food, ramen in particular. This is the first time that I have ever really done any artwork with clay and I am proud of what I have done so far. Like I said previously, I very much enjoy ramen and I found myself eating it from a bland bowl and wanted to spice things up a bit and add some life to my meals with this bowl. I made a lot of different bowls ranging in size and shape but i came to like 1 particular one in common that was very thin and tall, what you would expect from a ramen bowl. I am planning on having a black and red theme with gold accents and I think that it will show a lot of taste and character. I am most proud of how I was able to meet my deadline whilst being gone for 4 days near the end. I see myself enrolling a class that has to do with clay later on in my trinity career because I really enjoy the time I have working with clay.
