The Plate Experiment

An article reflecting on The Plate Experiment, an interactive installation piece combining everyday ceramic objects with paper cuts and narrative, presented at State of Play, Manchester and at the British Ceramics Biennial, Stoke-On-Trent in 2011. Through breaking down my own creative process and inviting others in, a series of questions around authorship and collaboration are raised - Whose work is this? How are the others I invited to be involved in this process actually acknowledged? Processing the results of the experiment led to several forms of outcome, one of which is presented here - many more are possible. Finding the right one is ongoing.
