Currently in the studio...

The month of October was mostly experimenting with ideas and dealing with a transition. It's just past mid terms and I'm making the switch to functional work! I've been toying with pattern and illustration on my pottery. I'm not sure how much of it will stick, but it's good practice.

I came into the post bacc program wanting to work on sculpture, because that's where I was comfortable and that's what I thought academia would like. After the pressure to produce one to two sculptures a week I had to take a step back and really think about what do I want. Long story short, I'm not as happy making sculptures as I am making pottery. The topics I end up choosing for sculptures are too depressing for me. I asked if I could do both sculpture and pottery and was told it's best to focus on one or the other, so obviously I'm choosing to be happy.  Ultimately I'm sure I'll reintroduce sculpture back into my portfolio later on down the road, but for now I'm content with focusing on my functional work.
