Been papercutting up a storm for CCACA!

These hands will be dipped in porcelain slip and fired for the show.

CCACA Fundraiser vessel sale, raffle, and kiln fired pizza!

Day 2 of our fundraiser event extravaganza begins with glorious sunshine, and lots of coffee!  First day was a great success, new things are still coming out of the kilns.  A couple more days of this and we will be sitting pretty for CCACA.

Lots of great raffle prizes donated from very generous Ashland businesses!

Tons of great pottery for sale, and more to come!

Conditional space. Occupation and ownership to define empty space is fascinating. I seek to question the artist's control of space and viewer's interaction in that space. Property and ownership,in focus vs. hidden, public vs. private, these constructions strongly present how the creation of physical and non-physical boundaries can shape our everyday interactions with present reality. I allow and create certain conditions through participating in the making of the object which affects the outcome of my work. Aesthetically, conditional space is a process oriented spacial response and the allowance of clay to just be clay.

I am really excited about the work our wonderful little group is putting out for this event.  Although we don't have a direct unifying thread among the work I think we are all approaching contemporary sculptural ceramics in unique and relevant ways.  This is a hard working group that has come together to make CCACA a reality for SOU.  Looking forward to heading to Davis to share our pieces in a few weeks!

The pieces I am bringing to CCACA are part of a greater body of work in which I am exploring the relationship between humanity and nature.  I am interested in the underlying symbolism that some artistic media can represent.  Through the manipulation of these materials I hope to engage the viewer in a study of the oddities of human action and ritual.
