About this work
Overview
A small Grails study joining an older generative algorithm with photographed handmade ceramic forms.
How It Works
Each composition combines an unreleased 2018 generative background algorithm with photographed handmade ceramic pinch pots.
Deeper Layer
It is a ceramics-to-code bridge and a quiet return to physical making. Holders could also claim physical bowls, a layer the sources below document.

What People Miss
The edition is small, but the project is important as a bridge between ceramic practice, generative code, gallery context, and holder physical claims.
Place In The Path
A hinge between tile/ceramic history and later projects where code produces physical instructions, objects, or artifacts.
