Morning Ritual
In my ceramics class, our final project was to create a ritual involving clay. I eat oatmeal every morning, so I suppose that’s a ritual for me. I carved a cup of oats out of clay and let the clay dry until it was leather-hard. Then I made a time lapse video of the clay dissolving. The video is about 00:40, but it covers 5.5 hours of time. I filmed the clay beginning at 5:30am to correspond with the rising of the sun.
