Title:	A Burnt Generation
Description:	This bottle set, which is deeply connected to Native Americans' cultural past through the use of ancient glazing processes, is a moving depiction of the continued injustice they endure. This bond is further strengthened by the use of horse hair that was obtained straight from a Native American trading post, signifying the past and present interactions that have shaped their identity. In contrast to the mostly hand-built techniques typically used by Native American craftspeople, each bottle is painstakingly wheel-thrown. This decision embodies the complexity of what has been forced upon them and what is still fundamental to their culture, reflecting the duality of creation and loss. I hope that my work will spark a conversation about Native American communities' tenacity, legacy, and continuing spirit.
