Small Plates

After another spell of distractions, I'm back in the studio. Haven't made these small plates in a while so they are a good way to ease back into the process.

vaModern just posted a feature of my work so I thought I'd share the link to the article. http://virginiamodern.wordpress.com/2012/06/09/perfect-imperfection/

Repetition

While building these latest pieces I am reminded of how much repetition goes into a creative process. I once heard an artist remark that they had essentially tried to perfect the same piece over and over throughout their entire career. I feel I am at that point too. Certain shapes, textures and images from the past keep reappearing as if trying to achieve a type of perfection. It's not so much an endless loop as it is an upward spiral, renewed in time with layers of new experiences.
