I love the idea of functional art. Something that serves a purpose while still being beautiful. In the beginning of 2023, I started working on themed tic-tac-toe boards. After seeing a plain ceramic board, I thought about how I could "reinvent" the game and make it a fun and functional piece of art. I want my art to be something that you can have on your coffee table to play with while catching up with friends. Something that sparks conversation about what art is and can be. There are endless themes and ideas that I have for these boards as well as other board games. I hope my work can be a reminder that art can be functional too, it doesn't have to be something that is protected behind glass in a museum. It can be fun and playful, and a beautiful conversation starter.
