Abstraction continues... why do the circles have to be whole? Do they still read as circles when severed and/or relocated? how little information can I give and still reference a circle?
Often my work starts with questions like these. I spend time answering them and the sequence of resultant work documents the path I have taken. For me the object as a document is important because often I have to take long breaks from artmaking. When I return to the work I like to have a foundation from which to draw new ideas and compositions. This body of work is over three years in the making due to several hiatuses that could not be avoided. The works in the studio right now, just coming out of the kiln, have a strong connection to these but they are currently at a place I could not have perceived. Time and inspiration are under no obligation to let you know what they have in store for you. More on that soon.
