PER(PET)UAL MEMORIUM - TRICIA VISSER

A Master's solo exhibition of ceramics.

"The ceramic sculptures in Per(pet)ual Memorium (2023) are embedded with fragments of the pets' favourite soft toys and bone ash: enduring reminders of their lives. My work excavates the connection between anthropomorphism and attachment theory, exploring the bonds forged between humans and animals. Each life-size ceramic sculpture memorialising a cherished pet is imbued with the emotions, memories and trauma arising from the loss of the animal companion. Childlike hands and feet transform the animal sculptures into hybrid creatures, reflecting the tendency of pet owners to treat their pets like children or an important human equivalent.

My work creates an intimate space for reflection and dialogue. It encourages others to explore their relationships with their pets and how they shape our lives."
