low fire ceramic with light red finish
work date: spring/summer 2014
An apt title considering that I made the piece, then watched it crumble to bits in my hands as I was putting it in the kiln, fired it anyway, reassembled the bits and used them as a guide to rebuild the work from scratch but maintain the composition which I liked so much. Altogether a satisfying result to an otherwise frustrating course of action. That's the way with clay, or maybe even art in general... a series of insurmountable obstacles on the road to immanent disaster.
Ok, that was a little pessimistic but it paints the picture for the mindset when things aren't going as planned.
Patience.
Thanks to all who came out to the show last Wednesday night. I appreciate the support.
