“Bodies at Rest” looks at Isaac Newton’s First Law of Motion, “A body at rest stays at rest unless a force acts upon it.” These abstracted ceramic figural forms capture how the laws of physics manifest in the human body, specifically from the artist's desire to manage her own bouts of depression. The work began as small languid figures, built from a single thick piece of clay, allowing her to take the lack of inertia she was feeling and put it into a physical form that she could hold out from herself and look at. It has allowed her to view her own depression from a more neutral place, unexpectedly becoming the force acting upon her “body at rest” and creating movement and healing.
