CONGRATULATIONS, KENDRA!
“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.
