They carry traces of a neighborhood marked by contrast: grand brownstones alongside subdivided apartments, their differences concealed behind sandstone and brick façades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe clay body is made from recycled porcelain blended with coffee grounds from a Brooklyn Navy Yard roaster. The glaze incorporates excavations from a Bedford-Stuyvesant brownstone construction site, with additional finishes using wood ash from a pizza restaurant and stone slurry from Greenpoint. Each plate brings together fragments of the city into an intimate domestic realm. As I rebuild my roots in Toronto, my material palette shifts toward my new locale. With each batch, traces of my former home are replaced with new introductions. The work becomes a record of migration, memory, and the process of belonging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSize: 4.5\"H x 3.75\"W x 0.5\"D\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: recycled porcelain wood ash stone slurry excavated clay\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CIRCA Atelier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49122209530010,"sku":null,"price":130.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/7206\/8506\/files\/BrownstoneDreams_LSPS1PMediumBrown.jpg?v=1787791741","url":"https:\/\/circaatelier.ca\/products\/light-switch-plates","provider":"CIRCA Atelier","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
