Among these, the age-old craft of glazing poses particular difficulties in terms of recycling and environmental impact. Leftover glaze materials, often infused with glassy components, introduce complexities into the recycling process, ultimately contributing to various forms of pollution, including chemical and toxic contaminants in the soil. Additionally, the disposal of glazed ceramics often uses high-temperature kiln firings, resulting in increased energy consumption. Recognizing the importance of considering the complete material life cycle and the intrinsic value of materials, this project endeavors to instill a sense of circularity within the ceramic studio. The essence of circularity revolves around the idea of upcycling previously used materials and waste, repurposing these resources to breathe new life into the world. The research on the ways the waste produced in the studio can be reused happens through rethinking traditional techniques such as slipcasting, the agate technique, and the technique of terrazzo making. As ceramic artists, our daily connection with clay forms a profound link to its ancient history. This integration, drawing from various historical disciplines and practices, finds its inspiration in the realm of archaeology. Archaeology, with its diverse nature, serves as a collaborative bridge between diverse fields of human knowledge, offering a deeper understanding of material’s rich history and their potential for various innovative applications. Terrazzo, traditionally a flooring material characterized by the arrangement of marble or stone chips within a concrete mix, has been revisited to confront the challenges posed by glaze waste in ceramics. The artist derives inspiration from the improvisational character of terrazzo, where the arrangement of materials constitutes a creative and organic process. This tradition undergoes a reinvigoration, in order to align with the principles of circularity. Salvaged and seemingly unusable glaze remnants find their place in the clay body, in a manner reminiscent of the traditional technique of terrazzo making. In the initial phase of the research, the artist undertakes the creation of a series of handmade tiles, made from a circular adaptation of terrazzo.&nbsp; <img width="6180" height="4244" width_o="6180" height_o="4244" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/66a95bac741b3931ba36ebcebe7a1b0c557adc6514198517fe47728daa1205fa/_MG_0268.jpg" data-mid="1326983" border="0" data-scale="80"/> <img width="5568" height="4100" width_o="5568" height_o="4100" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/da98595bc09e43ab63be4e038a5f33e718fdefd247e1b28e90fb1e8ccf5efaa1/_MG_0328.jpg" data-mid="1326986" border="0" data-scale="80"/> <img width="5084" height="3389" width_o="5084" height_o="3389" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/3dc1702f7750e7ad62e75044cfc2c5b8a1002f3b7dcd32514313c8cbb055ffa6/_MG_12900.jpg" data-mid="1326990" border="0" data-scale="80"/> <img width="5664" height="3876" width_o="5664" height_o="3876" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/d7f0a5d77c6cba43c8572243dd1f250b23dcc89c0431ff6584ffabbf9ab51978/_MG_1271.jpg" data-mid="1326991" border="0" data-scale="80"/> <img width="4781" height="3825" width_o="4781" height_o="3825" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/6a39b53924455a2168b4535fe6cd6f19b5c8a6956206fe35e1d4e65b8a2aefe5/_MG_0307.jpg" data-mid="1326987" border="0" data-scale="80"/> <img width="6026" height="4017" width_o="6026" height_o="4017" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/f25fe9d00c50dd51cf0113a81acf2b92e5ca30dd8e1100bd68186bde64e3b97a/_MG_0319.jpg" data-mid="1327000" border="0" data-scale="80"/> &nbsp; &nbsp;<img width="5160" height="3648" width_o="5160" height_o="3648" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/5eb031fad3dccf71cf307ac74e0b692ef0700a55d17f9d63c0283ef262c8c3cb/_MG_1394.jpg" data-mid="1326996" border="0" data-scale="76"/> <img width="5042" height="4034" width_o="5042" height_o="4034" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/7cf0ab9a50e3f4b7108e7a81043fe0b5d4802005bea8c0126b4e24a03160f66c/_MG_0331.jpg" data-mid="1326992" border="0" data-scale="62"/> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img width="2582" height="2853" width_o="2582" height_o="2853" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/f8a249672bba5e0c7ea550c8cf266e7d1f697097c1752d2dbfd2690f6200092b/unnamed.jpg" data-mid="1326984" border="0" data-scale="43"/> <img width="6014" height="4341" width_o="6014" height_o="4341" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/52f3a8c8687a8148f436057ee2b652328244fbc3e3855560a1004892603cb03a/_MG_0325.jpg" data-mid="1327001" border="0" data-scale="80"/> <img width="5424" height="3648" width_o="5424" height_o="3648" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/b85751d7b4d8a14c82fd695f9a4cea962d2b391bbe0a7ebda9e138e18b54400b/_MG_1196.jpg" data-mid="1326989" border="0" data-scale="82"/>Year &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 2023 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1, 12 .

Terrazzo making has always been an improvisational, action-centric, embodied, and situated activity. The artist utilizes a new material of her own invention which she developed by reusing the ceramic’s studio waste to revisit and adapt the craft of terrazzo making. Through further exploration of the aesthetics and practicalities of glaze, a series of unique vessels emerges, in which the viewer can discern a relative chronology based on the sequential layers of reclaimed matter. Each layer represents a distinct moment in time, as if mirroring the strata of geological formations. When fired in the kiln the two materials create a surface that reminds of geological formations. Eventually each piece is named after a different type of rock formation. Employing tactics of reverse archaeology, the artist provides insights into the historical context of the materials, while envisioning the potential for an alternative future. Each piece is meticulously crafted projecting forms of anonymous art and architectural forms, reminiscent of archaeological artifacts. They embody a sense of continuity and transformation, as they are born from an atelier that reverberates months of creation within a single unit. The final objects serve as tangible artifacts of a circular perspective.
