‘Conversations’ are a collection of slip-cast ceramic forms representing ‘conversations’ with the artist’s retrospectives upon her experiences of womanhood. After casting, each piece is individually manipulated by hand: dropped on top of each other, squeezed, punched and pierced. Through tactile manipulation, Serena projects her sentiments onto these vessels: squeezing, pinching, piercing and punching them. Serena intends to leave her own mark: the syntax of her own emotional experiences upon their surfaces. Each piece is submerged in a veil of hand-made glazes, from satin to gloss, with tender hues.
