To Close the Book on Fall 2009

The semester ended in a whirlwind of work to complete, without enough time. The story of my life. After a four our studio clean up with the majority of our studio members and professors, we enjoyed a potluck dinner with our graduates, currents students and newly accepted BFA students. We had a wonderful time revealing secret santas and eating great food out of handmade ceramic dishes.

Returning the 17th I was met with our familiar Janitor who commented, "you just can't keep away huh?" and flashed a smile. I spent the evening cleaning my studio space and preparing it for a month of absence. I then proceeded to photograph the work I had completed since the midterm point. It consisted of two different bodies: The first, a theme/concept I feel will be developed towards my thesis show, and the second, and experiment with translucent porcelain to create Light. I am hoping to develop both bodies together, in an effort to present a nostalgic narrative of time passed.

The following post will show Photographs of the ceramic work completed in my last half of the Fall 2009 semester
