New Year New Ideas

Happy 2012 everyone!  I'm excited for a fresh start this year in the studio.  I have some time right now to explore my sculptural ideas and really solidify my thoughts and processes.  I'm ready to have a clear direction for that side of my work.  Having my installation up for 2 months and periodically "checking in" on it, and also getting the feedback from some local artists, I have a clearer idea of where my coil build forms will be going.  That installation was a huge project that has needed to happen for a while now and I'm glad I had the space and time to do it.  Here's a detailed shots that I thought was a nice view of the piece.



I am still busy finishing up graduate school applications, editing my statements over and over again, but the end seems to be in sight!  I'm excited to see the outcome of this process!

I had talked about a longer tray that I was working on a few blogs ago and thought I'd share with you the finished product.  It was a good challenge for me to step outside of my comfort zone and work on something larger.  I need to do more of this!  New ideas and processes will come out of it.


Happy January everyone!  I'll take some shots of my in process coil built shapes soon and share with you my evolving work.
