The Goblets
|
In response to the
calls for entry into various exhibits, and in answer to one invitation, these
goblets retain their function while exploring the possibilities of design.
Again, nature provides the cues, and I respond accordingly. Their names
reflect alcoholic intentions.
Tight Rose 2005 The foray into
loosening up. I made a second rose goblet, but it was so loose it melted
sideways in the firing. This one belongs to Coyote Clay and Glaze.
Scotch Bloom 2005 This was more
expressive, and quite fun to make.
Bourbon Blossom 2005 Ah, yes, thorny stuff,
but quite delicious.
Moonshine 2005 This one was
troublesome, as is the real thing… The next three were
made for the 8th Annual Goblet Show at the Works in Philadelphia,
July 2006.More relaxed about this, they were lots of fun, and reflect floral
influences and ocean (below the surface) inspiration.
