Excluding the physical representation of my Grandfather from the piece, I connect grief with the emotions projected onto a personal space through remnants of his existence in the form of pill bottles, tissues, messy pillows and blankets. Through my work, constructed entirely from memory, I am evoking a feeling of nostalgia, curiosity, and a pang of melancholy in my viewers. Using this installation of red earthenware clay furniture as a vehicle, I am reaching out to my audience and creating a space for them to be vulnerable to the idea of mortality. I encourage my audience to acknowledge their feelings and to be open to sharing and receiving support in our struggle with death.
