Embracement #2: Baby Blanket
Linh San
2022
Porcelain, varied dimensions. 12 blankets (folded in sixths).
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).
