Shattered Porcelain Thomas Macdonald

Shattered Porcelain is a focused work on what it means to be human, and the resources individuals use to re-imagine their own sense of meaning. Art can be a mode of creation where the individual can perceive experiences vicariously through unconscious processes linked to raw emotional need. It is through this need that art creates a foundational outpouring of explosively real, and confrontational wellsprings of reflective media conducive to personal growth. From this idea, there is a concentration of themes surrounding the human experiences of loss, hope, remembrance, and confrontation. The emotional depictions are meant to be depersonalized, and often in first person, to impart a sense of universal dialogue through art. The voice of the individual has been considered in the creation of each piece, and is part of that dialogue.
