This retail / re: tale work explores the tension between making for meaning and making for sale within a consumption-driven, profit-focused world. It reflects my ongoing attempt to reclaim a process I deeply value from the product-driven systems that are easy and safe to fall into. The process is embedded with my personal narrative, where colour acts as a language for emotions I cannot easily articulate. The material resists control through warping and variation, allowing each piece to emerge slightly beyond what I had planned. While the end result often screams to become a mug or a market-ready product, in this work I resisted. There is a tension between pure artistic expression and the demands of production. This work tells the tale of my joy while navigating the pressures of a retail-focused world.
