On way to pick up a pizza Sunday night and the sky opened out. Took the photo with my cell phone and abstracted in photoshop a little...
My interest in ceramics and photography is often overlapping. Objects of interest to me sometimes come from random fallen leaves or layering of mountain range upon mountain range. A blending of glaze over textured clay gives controlled random color. A clay surface becomes a focus for flat abstract photograph. Leaf or flower structure becomes inspiration for ceramic texture. Finding the art is my goal.

New sculpture out of kiln
Got the fired results from the kiln Sat. morning. Iron and copper oxide on the slab built piece, approx 12" ht. Clear glaze and red under glaze at the raw edges. Hand rubbed the oxides to give non uniform look.

New sculpture for January
3 views of new work, to be bisk fired and then glazed. Approx 12" tall. My object was to make a sculptural hollow form and then cut away part of the body. I liked it when the clay started to open up but not quite thru the body completely leaving a ragged edge as oppossed to the smooth curved outside form.
