Janet DeBoos




I have always made domestic pottery.The work exists in the space between the act of making and the act of use. It is a practice of vicarious pleasures- of imagined use (for the maker) and imagined making (for the user).
In the same way in my current work occupies the space between my life in Australia and my life in China, and helps me to make sense of both differences and commonalities- I yearn for a kind of hybrid pottery where borders are permeable and iconic decorative imagery become transnational.
