Start of Spring Semester 2011

So I know on my last blog that I said I would have pictures of the work I've started and now here they are. I actually finished the assembling of the parts on the table, but I guess I'll have to post those pictures tomorrow, since I forgot to take a picture before I left the studio this evening.  The images are representing the sculptures that I am currently working on.  Graduate school isn't all about making art, but also about understanding the reasons an artist makes his work and why.  With that being said I must get back to my research and readings to help me understand contemporary views within art, particularly that of conceptual art which we are discussing in my Graduate Seminar class this semester.  Hope everyone has a great week!

Start of a new Semester 2011

Well it's been awhile since the last blog I've posted and the new semester is under way at Edinboro.  I'm currently hand building some sculptures for an exchange that the graduate students are partaking in and I'm really excited about it.  The work we make will be exchanged at the greenware stage and the surface of our forms will be done by the other graduate students.  Hopefully this will lead to new ways on thinking about our surfaces and how other artists might interpret them using their own glazes and techniques.  At the end of this project, we will show the work in a gallery setting.  I don't have any pictures yet to post of this progress, but I'll will try to have some posted by tomorrow.
