"The porcelain bottle series consists of bottles cast from a mold which are painted with various engobes and glazes. The texts on the works create unity in the series, although each bottle is its own piece. The bottle as an object flirts with the idea of practicality, by being a utility object as opposed to just a work of art. In its shape, a bottle is something in which things have been stored, and thus it refers to the permanence of things over time and to traditions. The messages on the works also refer to time, such as “History travels mouth to mouth,” “News,” “Potential doom” and “Can’t read what is not written.” I made the bottle shape of the works from several parts, and there is no original clay bottle, as is typical when making a porcelain mold. The neck of the bottle is a separate small porcelain object that I threw myself. It was made from various lumps of leftover clay. I made the mold horizontally so that one of its edges is completely flat. I used this mainly to write texts on the pieces, while the more decorative shapes text are on the backs. There was not enough porcelain material left for the bottle with the word “Sex” so one corner was left completely open during casting and in a way it looked unfinished or even broken."
