Today I am going on campus to make some pottery. I have been kind of inspired by Jake Van Wyk to incorporate handles into my pieces. Instead of just 'sticking' the handles on and leaving them be, I have started sticking handles on and continuing the lines through the rest of the piece... indenting/impressing, sort of. I don't have any pictures of it yet, though later I might. I have this fascination with plants and roots: people don't normally see roots and the role they play in a plant's existence (out of sight, out of mind). I am going to start a series of pieces that incorporates plants and roots into the clay body by building plants onto the surface and texturing the surface of the piece where the roots will go...I'll show you later.
