Stacked pallets, an orange textile-like strip of flagging tape, raw clay forms, and a branch-like ceramic element come together as a rough material assemblage. The pallets remain recognizable, but the cut opening through their center interrupts their original function, shifting them from tools of transport into objects for looking, touching, and rethinking.
Brooklin uses craft materials such as clay, wood, fiber, and ceramic in several different states: raw, fired, refined, wrapped, or altered. This range of forms becomes the core of the work. Rather than treating a material as fixed, Brooklin shows how it can hold many identities at once. The connection to gender expression appears through this material flexibility, suggesting that identity, like matter, is not singular or stable, but shaped through use, change, and presentation.
