Evolving
So... I I had one of my many epiphanies last night that I wanted to do more"experimenting" and allow my work to evolve further... I feel like my pieces are too hard... I know you're thinking..."hard"?????They are ceramic... of course the are hard... but I feel like the spontaneity...the wetness and fluidness of clay had left what first drew me into ripping and shifting the clay and now with more structural knowledge I want to bring it back... the return of the rip... but now I can refine the rip... a structured organic feeling.... Tell me what you think...

I LOVE the new pieces! The are still related to your other work but are a bit softer too.
ReplyDeleteCynthia-you got it....and I want to work in the soft colors... I tried the celedon on a tile and want to play with it... maybe even try other color ideas...Nice to know you're checking in!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! More organic but your not losing control of the form, either. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see these glazed. Wow! They're amazing!
ReplyDeletenatalie- thanks i can't wait either!

ReplyDeleteGreat new pieces. I like the wavy edges of the sugar and creamer and the curve of the handle on the pitcher. Very organic and fluid.
ReplyDeleteVery distinctive Judi---love the fluid lines! Still you, but evolving to a super-elegant sophistication which is instantly recognizable as your work/style. You're on my personal list of ceramic idols :D!
