Inspired by the anatomies of hard and soft-bodied species and the queer polymorphism of nature, my work imagines the potential of becoming, blending human-made and natural designs. I rescript traditional ceramic coiling techniques as a form of contemporary technology to generate alternative morphologies. My maximalist aesthetic evokes a guttural delicacy and fragility, using ornamental elements and their feminine associations to conjure the monstrous feminine. By merging futuristic bodies and artifacts, these chimeras celebrate coexistence and otherness, challenging binaries and cultural expectations of the body, femininity, and beauty. Pushing the boundaries of my craft mirrors my exploration of queerness and enables me to dismantle biological and societal limitations surrounding sexual and gendered identity.—Eva Tellier
