Sam Briegel

"In my work, I use the shared vocabulary between the body and the vessel to explore the emotional and cultural landscapes of clothing and the body, embracing the inherent tension between self-acceptance and societal expectations.

 

I make functional porcelain pieces inspired by clothing and the garment-making process. Each piece is infused with multiple textures and patterns from my personal wardrobe and items that hold meaning, whether because of their comfort, beauty, or the memories they evoke."
