Sketchbook and Bisque Also "Little Images" and COLLAGE

Just thought I'd share some visuals of where my head has been... some sketch book pages...
with photos and quick sketches and then a shelf of bisque...




















































































Based on the above post, I should also tell you that I continue to read Lee Krasner's biography
and keep thinking about her "Little Images" and how in some way I am drawn to creating more of a collage effect in pieces both 3 dimensionally as well as regarding the surfaces... so the pieces that you are are seeing evolve now, feel like a jumping off point...

New Submission

Just chose these as submissions for a show...
You never know...
I love that it can be done on the computer!!!

What's happing on this clay "trip".

I am still working and developing and playing with clays(with out MANGANESE) and throwing and carving and manipulating and texturing and glazing and not glazing...
but I have a few photos I feel like I can post....
The ones that have glaze on the outside creating a texture were re-fired after I was unhappy without something else making the inside and the outside of the pieces relate and create a cohesive unit.
I am moving back and forth between these ideas...
Glaze, no glaze, clear glaze texture, smoothness...
In the background are pieces that i have been working with wedging bits of clay in contrast colors into the mound and then throwing and carving... and also throwing and layering up other slips in other clay colors to carve through, reveal... etc...
My head is spinning... just like my wheel!
Trying to enjoy the trip as I am usually wired to focus on the very end result..
