Slaughter’s ceramic practice is informed by a background in Art History and Archaeology. Her Archaeological research explores the advent of the pottery wheel in Minoan Crete, focussing on socio-technological theory in the adoption of this innovation. Through the lens of Material Engagement Theory, she examines the potter her/himself as a tool in reference to Mauss’ theory “l’homme total”. She plans to continue developing this research in doctoral studies. Slaughter draws inspiration from ancient Greek statuary, as well as prehistoric technology and technique working primarily in hand-built ceramic sculpture. She is currently based in Los Angeles, CA.
