Here is a preview of one of my pieces that will be taken to the Sculpture in the Park Show next week. Potters often seek surprises when they open the kilns. As I am a sculptor, predictable results are preferred. After spending days on a piece, I do not want to ruin it with an experiment. However, the exterior of this jar was a total surprise. Iron, copper, and pine ash worked with sawdust, straw, and charcoal briskets, creating dramatic effects. I am overjoyed. Please share with me the messages you receive from this conceptual art. The Sculpture in the Park Show will be held in Loveland, CO on August 12 and 13. Contact me if you want the complimentary tickets.  Front view with a base. Note a snicker on the fox's face.  Back view. An initial idea was to draw petrographic hands in red in the back, symbolizing how the fox has stepped on numerous others to reach the top, but I decided to let the colors tell the story.  Left side. The base can be removed.  Right side.  A rabbit trapped in quicksand represents terror that the fox hides even from his self-realization.

Your advice was much appreciated. The organization recently changed the person in charge of inventories. She not only changed the prices, but also emailed me an updated document for confirmation. It was a good experience. Safe trip to Chicago. We will catch up when we both return home. Thank you. Leave a Reply. |
