Life in Logan - Grad Student

Graduate school has been very intense. 

Along with facing issues of adapting to this culture

multi tasking at school

after having been working solitary

in my studio - Earth Art

led me to 

face challenges of various kinds.

At times I would cry, sometimes laugh

the trouble is my inertia that lies within.

Not being too hard on myself,

I have breezed through the semester.

And these are the objects I made.

some exploration with structures -

tested clay bodies that would 

slump at higher temperatures.

exploring surface and textures

In this one

I forced the change of shape

by dropping the piece off the table

as soon as I had placed the coils together.

This piece was fired to 2220 deg F/1220 deg C

last image shows how the coils were placed in the kiln

and I watched the coils change shape as 

the temperature increased.

Finally having a sense of giving up

or gotten destructed.
