“Time Goes By uses clay as a material vessel to convey the notion of time. It is representative of time through how long it took to make the forms, the use of time to control thickness in slip casting, and the slow, controlled time of the clay particles compressing as the forms dried.” — Isobel Carver.
Isobel received $10,000 to support her final year of study, along with the offer of 3-month paid internship at Mud Australia.
