I began experimenting with instruments in the fall of 2022 by creating a flute shaped instrument out of clay. While it has similar sounding notes to a flute, I didn't quite make it the correct length. After playing with length, I realized the sculptural forms I have been making would be great to make into woodwind instruments. In 2023, I started to experiment with ocarina vs. flute mechanisms for the mouthpiece and using the shape of the sculpture, added holes to create different notes. I am continuing to explore these forms, as I feel that they represent different emotions and feelings. When I play them, they allow me to feel more deeply and acknowledge emotions that I am experiencing.
