Where did the day go......one moment it is early morning and the next thing I know it's 9 pm.
I realized today that art, in so many levels, is starting to have a strong presence within my life. Its become something more than just an assignment....or developing technique (although I think one can never have enough in that area). I get excited when I see a fellow artist become excited talking about their own art or giving advice to another artist. The crit. we just had was an example of this. So much brain power in one little area... you could just feel the energy. It was a good day again at the studio.

Epiphany.
A revelatory manifestation of a divine being.
A sudden manifestation of the essence or meaning of something.
A comprehension or perception of reality by means of a sudden intuitive realization.
Today was a good day in the studio.
Holy crap Malcolm was right all along. But I won't tell him that..... his head is big enough now as it is.
Kiln firing right now....
Life is good.

Sept. 1, 2010
Why is it that I am always a little apprehensive when walking into a ceramic grad class. Yesterday was no different. I realize that I do not have the wealth of knowledge that most have in the grad class, but I do have a deep passion for the medium. So it brings me to the question of, " Is passion enough?" My immediate answer is, sure, why not?! But then I go back and looked at my teaching philosophy that I did for Linda's class, and I see that I was sure of two things. Play is necessary in developing a body of work, no matter the type of medium, and having a strong foundation is imperative. Though my foundation in ceramics is growing, it's fragile for lack of a better word. So, do I rely purely on play?
I am excited that Lee has given us the ability to try something we wouldn't normally do in our own ceramics. In my painting world, "trying something" that is so far away from what we are working on is a HUGE N0-No! So I am looking forward to it. My mind races to the possibilities of things I want to try! So, I guess that is a good thing!
