Ceramics is a friendly and intimate medium. The process in ceramics making is a very interesting transformation by heat. Similar to ceramics, making food is crafty and also process of transformation. Both making of ceramics and food may create new art objects with the meaning beyond normal reading. This blurs the boundaries between fiction and reality.
