The Journey |
“Why didn’t I see this before? – That my creative
life is my deepest prayer.”
–Sue Monk Kidd
Lately,
my work has centered on the mosaic metaphor of creating something new
and of value from what has been broken.
My tile collages, often centered on one or more of my handcrafted
tiles, are now containing more and more fragments of my own work, that
of admired fellow potters, and Goodwill dishes, sometimes collected just
to round out the color palette.
A smashing good time can be had in preparing materials, and then
I revert to the childhood joy of fitting jigsaw puzzles together – only
now I can cheat with the nippers and hammer to get the size and shape I
want!
The frames are repurposed finds from the Goodwill, underscoring the
recycled nature of the artwork.

The
Eugene Saturday Market (www.eugenesaturdaymarket.org)
starts up again on April 7, and although I won’t be there every
week, I should put in an appearance from time to time, selling
more of my traditional earth-toned tableware and textured
teapots. Meanwhile, you can keep abreast of my current work at
Annie Heron Ceramics on
Facebook. |
You can see some of
the new work at Eugene Coffee Company (www.eugenecoffeeco.com)
where it will be showing for the month of April. There will also
be some pieces at ECO Sleep Solutions (www.ecosleepsolutions.com). |
