Always Petal by Petal is a meditation upon the nature of productivity, and the nuanced relationship between effort and value. As part of this investigation on what “counts” as work, I have been repeating a single small gesture: one hand gently presses into the other with a minimal amount of porcelain, leaving a faint impression of a simple, discrete act. An accumulated mass of thousands of delicate porcelain pieces created through the same soothing, repetitive process, Always Petal by Petal is an affirmation that small actions can have big impact.
