Peripheral Knowing: Bone China is a series of works based in research surrounding the animate qualities of bone china, a type of porcelain containing bone ash.
"Bella Blanca’s ceramic vessels, part of an ongoing series Bone China, take up the industrial and cultural history of bone china through a series of collaborations with bone ash. Blanca’s vessels invoke bone as the body’s interior armature and offer a meditation on containment, loss, and mourning."
