Water Closet and X marks the spot

really liked the ideas in Water Closet and X marks the spot. The thoughts that I found most interesting were the ones on tearing up the concept of the work. Figuratively, and/or even literally tearing up the physical work, breaking it down so there is nothing left. Looking at the process of making and forming of the work but also the end result, or the absence of the end result and merely the documentation of the making. Perhaps how this Egyptian Paste project may end up, it could collapse and there may be an absence of an end result. It relates back to entropy by measuring the amount of randomness or disorder, or loss of information that may occur during the firing as all of the objects we coat are burned out and the form takes on a new shape.
