Ideas for Winter Quarter

During the winter break, I was reading a lot of art and I started to keep an inspiration book which I collected artists who inspired me. With the classes I took in the fall, I want to keep exploring in the medium of ceramics. I really enjoyed my experimenting piece with fabric and slip, and I would like to take a step further to create daily-use objects with the form of fabric. My second idea with ceramics is also to create daily-use objects but with the technique of using paper stencil. Both ideas started as domestic objects; which is what I am inspired through the experiences I had growing up. However, I like the twist between visually appealing and functional, and I think this is a good theme to start my exploration.
Along with the idea of focus on domestic items, I am also interested in combining the shapes of highly recognized daily products and domestic pattern. With this specific idea, I would like to use the medium of Screen-printing. Moreover, based on the statement of why I am attracted to such shapes and patterns, I also would like to play the relationship between the main image and the negative space. I want to create some type of space on papers as I was to build an installation or an architecture on a 2-D form. Below is the first series of shapes I am going to start.
