After over a week of trying to come up with an idea for my series and I think I finally have. I have always been interested in working with clay but wanted to make something different. Yesterday while I was at the library in nipigon I found a wood working magazine, and immediately thought of clay. Since clay can be worked into the same shape as the wood they work with. I could use the techniques they use in the magazine to
Shape my clay.
The things I'm goin to make our items Like a bread board with carvings and engraving in it representing my family. I could also make a candy dish or another flat tile. I have not completely decided everything I'm goin to make but I do want to make something like a bread board.

Jake, I'm interested in the direction you've taken for your art. I appreciate the connection you've made between wood & clay, and I look forward to seeing your plans for each artwork. What kind of images do you think you'd like to carve into the clay? What possible meanings would the images contain? How important is craftsmanship to you, and will the material challenge you in this aspect?
ReplyDeleteLooks like an interesting series!
