I began with two identical (purchased) vases. They were slip-cast, and therefore (theoretically) identical. I sandblasted the surface of one vase in order to distinguish it from each other, then I broke both vases into about sixty pieces using a hammer. I reassembled each vase using the pieces from its twin, my goal being to bring each vase back to its original form. Knowing that the goal was unattainable, but that my pursuit would be meticulous and faithful nonetheless, was at the core of this exercise.
The reconstructed vases are mutants of each other.
