Connexion, a commonly created artpiece
The students of Queens College were given the opportunity to collaborate with a professional ceramics artist, Charlotte Nordin. They worked through a new common experience, collaborating on a project that emphasize on installation, community-creation, and on the development of a fully monitored artistic work that led them to grow in their personal skills.
The plan was to invite the ceramics artist Charlotte Nordin for a series of 5 classes of 4 hours each. She introduced her techniques to be used for this particular project, namely Connexions.
This work is about the connexion among human beings, how they interact with each other and how our actions may have an impact in this entire organic human network. The ceramics pieces are a symbol for this, and the way of creating this artwork illustrates the concept. Everyone has a role to play and a place to take. Together we create an ensemble.
The students fulfilled their creative process, creating the pieces in raw clay, over to the firing process and to the final show. This work that has been led and created as collaboration between the artist Charlotte Nordin and the Queens College students was to be shipped over to South Korea for the Inchon Kocef Biennale.
