TO INSPIRE US … “OF MIND AND MATTER"
Consider your “matter” — your clay body, glaze chemicals, tools, kilns and the process of firing itself. What about considering those well used tools as receptacles of memory? And the chemicals and clays? What a privilege it is to craft such a personal relationship with what are basically the elements of the cosmos and provide us with infinite possibilities. How does the mind bend with these objects and processes?
Consider these ideas to reflect on your work.
Take a step back to view how you interact with clay. As we join again yet another year with our fresh oeuvres to show, let us consider our practice in terms of the materials and tools we use and how they affect what we make. We will choose a piece to share with our wider community that considers the ways matter influences mind and what we create.
