In short I have been in a process of changing my artistic practice. Various reasons are:
A pandemic made me think about my work and values in what I make
I have taught art history and I have expanding respect for the great works of history, and I see these works as still speaking to people today.
I hope to engage in that ongoing conversation, and particularly engage by using the vessel form.
I want to have a making practice that better reflects my desire to make works that nurture people’s well-being.
I am interested in making works of art that are good enough that people would want to buy them. Not that it’s about getting my bag, but if someone will pay for something that means something.
I have a better sense of how this work will connect with who I am.
So there you go.
I will be updating with in process photos and occasionally thoughts.
