 “Nestle” is experimental due to the abnormal use of clay. The pieces, or  “shards,” are made from the leftover clay from my extruder. After each  clay extrusion, the extruder tube is left to dry out until the next use.  When I saw how thin and fragile the dried clay had become, I thought it  would be a challenge to see how many pieces I could save without  breaking them. I love how they stack inside each other and create  dimension and structure, hence the name Nestle. The best part is when  light shines onto the piece, creating all kinds of interesting shadows.  Sometimes, when the light is shown onto it, they almost look like birds  nestling together.
