A 3 PART ODE TO LITHIUM, MY EX (II)
<piece>
This piece represents the culmination of a personal investigation into lithium and the identities
it possesses. The bent over figure stands as a personification of three of lithium’s identities that I see to be most
fundamental.
Firstly; as a medical stabiliser, how I came to know about it, represented in the PRIADEL pill forms that the figure balances on.
Secondly, as a treasure, referencing lithium’s indispensable place in the conversation around energy, a carbon zero future and the digital age, here represented in the form of the quartz crystal nestled in the ‘belly’ of the figure. And finally, an ode to lithium as the wild and unpredictable glaze material that it is, shown in the lithium rich glaze covering the surface.
