Statement

My family still keeps the baby blanket that once wrapped around my infant body, and was usually used as a pillow until now. I borrowed the form of the blanket to make 12 ceramic blankets that stand in as gratitudes for 12 Midwives.

This piece has two versions:

Version 1: 12 ceramic blankets fired once (this version will be at Á Space).

Version 2: 12 ceramic blankets following the order of being fired from one to twelve times, to open up potentials for natural mutations of form (still in the process).
