In my head... In my head... In my head...

So as of now I feel like I have been a huge slacker. But then again I am working carefully through a delicate process. A decent bump happened tonight while I was molding and I thought I lost one of my positives. (Which would have caused me to have a major BF if I did thank god it didnt happen) So as for process I have a video that you all can watch about how I am working right now to kind of get insight on this appliance making technique.



So yeah a pain in the ass with mold making basically.

I need to just keep moving forward at a more steady pace and I think that this is going to lead me to a place where I and this "mask" will end the semester with performance. It is very interesting to start off with a block of clay and then start making yourself into a different entity. This going along with my semester theme of suspension of disbelief I think is pretty cool. So hopefully I can suspend some disbelief through a live performance or a captured performance.

I may do some sculptural work and apply the crystalline glaze to it just to see what happens. The only problem is that it is a very obnoxious glaze so I have to think about the proper application. I saw some more sculptural vessels done by an artist named Bill Campbell which I think may be a good starting point for me to take further. Unfortunately I cannot find his sculptural work images so I'll link his website for you...

Almost finished my experiments with materials. Ive done the crystalline glaze and screen printed on clay and now all I have to do is the foam latex!!!

So as the semester wraps up expect me to not sleep and go crazy as normal!!
