I realize it's been much too long since I've posted anything, but needless to say, returning home made for some busy times. The jet lag subsided after a week or so, and even though I still miss being at Shigaraki, it is nice to be home. As some of you probably know, not long before leaving for Japan I moved to a new apartment, got married, we aquired a puppy (and more recently two kittens), and I'm also looking for a new job. Though I'd probably prefer to be doing ceramics full time, this isn't the best economy for that, and the idea of a steadier income is certainly pleasant! So, there has been plenty to do and plenty to adjust to since I've been home. I think the worst part about being back is not having access to such a great studio area and time for my artwork every day. Nevertheless, new pieces are already in the works...
Earlier today I started to edit pictures of each of the pieces I made at Shigaraki. I want to open up a forum for discussion of each piece individually, so once I'm done editing, each piece will be featured in a seperate post that can be commented on - I would love to hear any thoughts you have about the concepts I've been working with!!!
In other news...
The pieces I shipped home still have not arrived, but I'm determined not to worry until at least 2 months have passed. Nevertheless, I'm anxious to know they are safe and unbroken.
Something else to be anxious about - I should be hearing back from the Ceramics Biennale in Korea within a few days.
I will be exhibiting some of my pieces from Shigaraki during the 43rd Annual NCECA Conference in April, 2009. Details coming soon...
