My Submission to the Bray Foundation

These are my submission to the Archie Bray Foundation residency program. Last year I did not have enough sculptures to fill the 20 slots of the required images. This year I had more than enough to choose from. Looking through these photos, I contemplated what I would aspire to learn this year. I would like to improve my composition. Although there is a limit to what we can construct with clay, I would like to play with the shape and the space to make my sculpture more appealing to the visual and emotional senses. Improving my photographing skills is my second homework. As my artworks are complicated, I may have to use both natural and artificial light to achieve the most dramatic effect. The road to professionalism seems to me never-ending trials, errors, and new trials.
