One day we'll wake up. The paper peels back to reveal the truth, the tangible. I can eat the corn, it will fill my belly. I can trade the corn, you've got the cloth to clothe my skin. It will keep me warm. We'll share our stories of the struggles we've had, and how the worth of our spoils all out weigh the wear on our bones.
Know your neighbors, make new friends.
This is a sculptural ceramic piece that I made as a commentary on the current economic "crisis". I really enjoyed the scraffito process. I would like to turn this into a series, perhaps with some soft sculptural pieces. Soft sculpture really tickles my heart.
After working in ceramics I have a great deal of respect for some of the artists who make this a concentration. Clay is a tricky medium, constantly changing and warping (much like wood). It's the artist's job to work with the clay, and not to try and defy the clay. It's a beautiful relationship, and can produce some amazing pieces. I'm still new to the whole thing, but I look forward to future creations!
