I have been working SO INTENSELY on this project... An elaborate grant proposal that I almost got. I was one of three finalists in the state, but not the final one. Darn!
What I pitched was an installation of tile, each one created from casts of the hands of townspeople.
The resulting tiles would then have been incorporated into a monument. The tiles that have words on them have phrases direct from the minds of the townspeople. Memories and images that evoke the values of the town. Perhaps I'll mount these on the side of our gallery. That would be kind of cool.
The monument I designed had a sort of Stonehenge look to it. It would have created a gathering place for sharing and contemplation.

It happened.
The work.
The opening.
The hurdle leaping journey to getting there. I am very pleased with the results.
Many attended and were appreciative.
A few sales.
All good.
Now to catch up with the rest of my life.

All growth depends upon activity.

without effort, and effort means work.

Ah, a wordy and insightful quotation from a laconic Vermonter!
From the pile of dried-out earthenware that I bludgeoned into smithereens, to this shapely coil pot, there has been growth. And there has been work. And it's not over yet. Many hours of clay prep, coiling, paddling, pinching and forming. The form is still incomplete. She needs fingers and toes, and she will hold the moon.
Then comes the firing and coloring.
I LOVE THIS PROCESS, and the end results as well.
She reclines, like the cliffs from which her image was taken.
