Fragmented Female 2

She’s done! I took a leap with this one: that teal is pretty loud. I love the effect the unnatural colour creates. The parts look like pieces of a plastic toy, adding to the objectification of the figure.

The Tree is done!

Funny story: I put this together as a maquette to propose for installation. Here’s the kicker – I misread the call for entry; this isn’t what they’re looking for AT ALL. Oh well; maybe I’ll get to build a 7 foot tree in clay some other time.

Workshop at Alfred University

I’m participating in Walter McConnell’s summer workshop called “Big Clay: Raw”. I’m so ridiculously excited to be here at Alfred. It’s only Day 1, and I already feel completely at home. Walter showed us some images of contemporary ceramics and gave us a demonstration of a variety of techniques we could use on our assignment: a large, raw clay installation in the ceramics gallery.the gallery and armaturesWalter at workthe view from the dorm
