Abstract
My obsession with molds stems from the urge to know how common objects are made.On the street, in the workplace or in your home, the mold-made object is ubiquitous.My curiosity and experiences in and out of art school has yielded interesting outcomes, reflected in my work.Always a Vancouverite, I began art school at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design.I began doing ceramics seriously as an exchange student at the Rhode Island School of Design and later transferred to the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design where I received my BFA.After my undergraduate degree, I was an intern with the Kohler Arts/Industry Program for ten weeks, which influenced my work as well as my view on mold-making and mass production.In 2006, I was fortunate to be accepted as the Halvorsen Artist-in Residence with the Contemporary Crafts Museum and Gallery in Portland, Ore.The organization was constructed with funds from the Works Progress Administration in 1937 and, after 70 years at its original site, will soon relocate from their residential site to downtown Portland.Since the late 1970s, the organisation has hosted a ceramic residency that has existed at a small studio next to the main gallery.This is a six-month residency, which includes use of the studio, a stipend from Georgie's Clay Supply and a solo show at the museum.My proposal was to create a large c-shaped ceramic structure made from translucent high-fired ceramic bricks, lit from the inside.The piece is large enough for the viewer to walk into the enclosure and have the environment tower over continued on page 7 gallery of Bc ceramics

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
