Hello hello. I mostly spent my time making more bowls for the museum but in the meantime I did work on a sculpture. For an unexplainable reason I have been drawn to these rounded forms and I am sure that there is a better faster way to make them but I have been doing them with coils. Clearly its not perfect, but I kind of enjoy the way it looks organic / handmade. This is what happened when I finally put them together ! Much better since the last time I tried to make this piece it fell apart. I am not as happy with the shape / form but its a stepping stone towards where I want to be heading. I see the inside as being filled with fabric either mesh or fishnet. I want to use black flock on the entire thing. And cut up chain to connect the form to the fabric. I was going to use pink flock on these. I just needed to buy some peel-able latex to cover the red glaze. But after thinking about where I am going, I want to get black flock instead. You cannot go wrong with black and red. If the pink shows up underneath the black I also think that will look sick as fuck. For now I have these on display while I gather supplies needed to actually finish this.

Pretty exciting news, my little job at the speed as actually made something good happen ! I was chatting with the museum manager about my work and he said i should send an example to see if it would fit in the store. And amazingly, he said he liked these bowls I make ! The mold I was using to make these is old as fuck. So i grabbed my personal favorite bowl from home and made some molds. Classic me I made 4 molds and only two work (barely) but they will be fine for this first round. Not my most beautiful mold making experience. But I need to quickly make 10 bowls and I feel like these will do the job for me. Next thing i desperately need to do is make some business cards. My coworker drew this for me the other day and honestly its not bad ! But if i am going to be selling work I really need to get that figured out quickly. There are so many things happening I feel like I forget about what I actually should be spending time on. Its a great opportunity to get my name out there to the art people of Louisville and I am trying to take this seriously. But obviously I did not get into ceramics to make sellable work. I make art and this endeavor is stealing time from my sculptural practice...
