"SOME PIG"
This show explores the metaphor of the effect of childhood literature on the impressionable psyche of a curious kid.
I chose 2 dozen books that I returned to again and again while growing up,
either for escape, knowledge, or comfort. After rereading them all in the
past 2 months, I removed some pages and used them as tinder in the post-fire reduction of 24 large (12" - 22") raku vases specially created for this project.
Thus the words affected the outward look of the glazes, similar to how they
colored my view of the world.
This show opened April 18 and runs thru May in the Seattle Design Center, coincident with the Washington Clay Association annual show, also in the Seward Park Clay Studio gallery and "Symbiosis," a two person show of 2 and 3D works by Liz Tran and Katy Krantz.
