A Polar Bear surfaces for some air as he swims at the zoo. He would high five up against the glass below, where the kids would hold there hands, then come up for air to surface then dive again. It was a very sweet thing to see. This is my pic for the day for January 24, 2009 for Project 365. 24/365

This series shows once-fired surfaces from a recent project. The goal was to make pieces that did not reflect an obvious human touch.
The clay was rolled super-thin (1-3 mm) with fireplace ash and leaves. Some pebbles got into the mix too. After firing I lightly applied a wax coat and then oxides and other powdered pigments (yellow ochre, copper carbonate, and copper oxide). The black copper carbonate in particular brought out the wonderful random lines left by leaves, twigs, and other debris.
I decided not to fire again after the bisque firing. Pieces that had more wax look flatter and more metallic. Those with less wax show the wonderful random lines more clearly.

The human being constantly moves between the real and the dream. However, between the tangibility of the waking and the immateriality of the dream, there is a bridge under which the waters of feeling, thinking and conscious and unconscious desires pass. This limit makes it possible to discover that inside each individual there are cold storms and fuzzy impulses that suffocate him and which demand to be recognized by lucidity through the flow. Only when this turbulent river flows into the surface will the human being awaken bathed in his own fears, take the missing air, rest from the exhausting road and be reborn after the cathartic ritual.
