Amanda Millis
On 12 September 2021 by Deej_Fabyc1Live Art Ireland is providing me the chance to become intimate with the complexity of working through experimental performative sculpture processes
— building pit kilns into the earth, conjuring glaze recipes out of raw materials, foraging found clay, and fabricating ceramic pieces as a response to previous ceramics making with Shurooq School for the Blind. During this process, I hope to dig deeper into my own positionality as a community-led artist. Why is it my right to do so?
The images and short video are of the pit kiln creation and pit firing process. The video-in-progress is currently titled “A Disabled Womxn Labours; Please Don’t Tell the Government”.

While at Live Art Ireland, I will explore the foliage of this anti-colonised site to perform healing rituals, such as creating plant-based bio-resins over an outdoor fire to heal cracks in small ceramic sculptures. The responsive ritual performance during this residency will be both recognisable and strange, drawing on the similarities and differences of experiencing colonialism as oppressor and oppressed.
