Single Break Pot: Performance Art

Sitting in a clearly defined circle of cloth on the floor, Amy will break a traditional clay pot and meticulously glue it back together. This breaking and remaking brings attention to cycles of trauma, both personal and historical. Single Break Pot is a meditative and introspective performance, one that reflects the slow, complex process of mending and transforming. For the artist, the physical and mental challenge of maintaining the concentration and patience to carry out the task is an integral part of the piece.
