This piece explores decadence using information practice in assessing its conditions in current exchanges and conventional standards of taste and expectation.
Decadence is manifested most strongly at moments of unease, its concept is most potent when its double meaning (negative moral judgment, unconventional culture) is most clear.
Employing biomorphic form, this piece marries the objective reality of individuals, the evidence cum alliance of decadence and dandyism in/with time and the decadence feeling of decline prevailing in artistic circles. Buttressed by the cyclic nature of clay, referenced form from nature, carved as if infested by ants and splashes of engobe and glazes to portray the paradox of the dandy while attempting to document the current state of societal exchanges and the intricacies therein.
