THE CREATION OF “REPURPOSING” CERAMIC USING ROOF TILES WASTE

Abstract

There was a lot of used roof tile discovered throughout the village. However, the community did not turn it into usable items. The roof tile waste motivated us to turn it into artwork. This artistic research focused on the production of repurposing ceramic pieces utilizing roof tile waste materials. This creative study made use of the experimentation, reflection, and formation phases of Dharsono's artistic creation approach. This artistic creation process resulted in a jug of art entitled "Wanawarih." This artwork is full of symbolic expression values about the trilogy of vitality, namely forest preservation, water function maintenance, and earth manifestation
