For Bethany, my punny friend

Hello hello! Unfortunately it hasn't been easy for Bethany and I to meet, largely due to the eye surgery I had on Monday that knocked me out for all of last week. However, I can now see! And it's amazing!!

So I have had a lot of fun researching for you Bethany. I haven't seen your completed works, but I have found an artist whose visual style reminds me of yours, and I have also found an artist whose wood carving work is all, get this, puns! It's awesome. So here we are:

The Pun artist (and other wordplay) is Ruth Geneslaw. She works in wood:

Underdog




Dragging my heels




Shopping for Mr. Right



these are a few of my favorites, but the rest are worth checking out: http://ruthgeneslaw.com/index.html

The artist whose work reminds me of yours actually reminds me of some of the things I saw you do in our intro class with Jason a whiiiile back. The artists name is Naoto Hattori.

Thanks for your input on my piece, and I was going to break apart the tablets on my own, however the pit firing process did that for me, perhaps way too well because some of them...alright many of them...were unsalvagable. You will see tomorrow :)
