Meet Animal Meat - Antennae The Journal of Nature in Visual Culture

as a ceramic theme is dually applicable to
livestock and human bodies. Whether working in
milky porcelain or meaty earthenware, references
to flesh lurk within claywork. Ceramic art is unique
and distinctively relevant among other meat art
because the processes and associations of flesh
are experienced as embodied, constructed and
understood as biological, and defined and
redefined as historical.
