An onion,
All those layers.
just when you think you can name yourself,
you discover new layers,
you’re forming a new skin,
a new ring.
But there's a core.
And where does that core start?
"Sow" , clay mosaic (2016) |
What's been so fun about being in the ceramic studio all summer (in spite of the hot kilns) is that I don't know what I'm doing. I let the clay kind of tell me what to do, and it's such a great Conversation! Plus, I've been able to re-connect joyfully with "Flow", meaning, I look at the piece (or lump of clay) and I see what it can become, a picture comes into my mind of where to go next.
It's also been very liberating to kind of disassociate myself from the internal critic and "art world".......I'm letting myself just make what I enjoy, and not worrying about whether it's "good" by anyone's standards.
