More news from nowhere...

Wow. Long time no see. This last year (in which this blog remained silent) was a doozy for me. My time as Director of the ASUNM Craft Studio came to an end, I did a short but fruitful internship at 516 Arts, finished my honors thesis show (more on that to later), and now I'm finishing my my final semester at UNM, and also doing an internship at the Tamarind Institute. Whew. 

Besides my thesis project, artistically, I've been trying to juggle productivity with work and school, as usual. While last year was incredibly productive (as I'll illustrate in my next post), I didn't really have a chance to work on projects just for fun. I did participate in a large group show at Winning Coffee, with a creature theme for the month of October. I used old techniques that I've come to love, but also added some new elements, including the addition of crystals and sea urchin spines to pieces. I was actually very pleased that this piece didn't sell....because I loved it almost too much to part with it. 

The Healers, 2014. Clay, crystals, sea urchin spines,

wood, acrylic, gold leaf.

I've also continued to work on my ceramic Blobbies, which are piling up faster than a mound of tribbles. So for now, I'll end with this photo of some (but not all) of the blobs hanging around my living area. More updates SOON.
