Tied up

This is the first of a series of works that concentrate on our relationship with fabric. I have been trying to find ways to give the fabric some agency and allow it to take on qualities of intention.

New Studio

I apologize for the gap in posts, things got a bit hectic with the summer solo show, and studio move. BUT... I'm back to work, and here is a shot of the new digs at Clayworks! It's a long narrow space, with Ben Freund's studio nestled in the back, which is actually working out perfectly with my building process. I can now have specified areas for construction, hollowing, and surfacing! more to come soon!

Colors

I am just about finished with the surface of this piece. I chose a different approach to the surface, layering muted colors over more vibrant to add depth. I will post better photos when I get them.

Wall work

I've been thinking lately about how to better use space when displaying my work so I've decided to make some wall mountable pieces. This particular piece has posed some challenges in that I can't spin it, and I find my self falling over trying to look at  it and my reference photos from very awkward angles!

Ready to fire

Dardanus calidus

Just put this guy back together. Just needs some shoelaces and a hand and he will be ready to go in the Bailey at Baltimore Clayworks. First time firing a propane kiln. 

Progress
