Lately the size of the forms has been increasing. I am onto this hive/pod sort of thing:
It is always a challenge not to think too hard before I get going on a project. Thinking too much causes me to try to adhere to a theme, or reason, or to make only variations of what I have already done. For easier marketing of an artist’s brand this would be great, or IS great, but for creativity it isn’t great. I prefer to try to work enough that a cohesive body of work comes from quantity but not at the expense of the creativity. Maybe this is why my overall body of work as an artist can seem a little schizophrenic unless you see a lot of it at once, but I dont’t know how else to capitalize on subconscious creative capital.
On another note, I would like to thank my high school art teacher, Mr George Juliano, for his tecnical support. Check out his work at his Etsy shop here

Tania, Where do you put these sculptures? They are great but seem to take up a lot of space
I have some in the garden, some by the front door, some on the floor, or on pedestals. Stoneware holds up pretty well outside. I move them around until I find a place where they fit well.
