Everlasting and Impermanent

By Alexis Rago 2013
Made on a human size scale this ceramic piece emanates sounds recorded during its making. Synchronously, external sounds of a replica of the work document its destruction. Sited in the midst of the broken replica the work is sensitive to vibrations: gently swaying in response to significant movement, a sense of precarious fragility engendering caution and reverence engages the viewer in a choreographed relationship with the work.
