I was going to try a few new shows and not put my art in a few other venues. Sadly, the two shows in Little Britain and Picton have been cancelled. I'm hoping that the Victoria County Studio Tour at the end of September, and the Marshland Centre in Lakefield in November will go ahead. When we are able to see art again and life is a little back to normal, if you can afford [...]
I will be showing my work in Lakefield on the weekend of November 16 & 17th from 10 - 4pm.. This is a lovely show in a scenic location in Lakefield.

This year is the 14th annual Christmas show, featuring the work of local and regional artisans. Entrance is free, but you can make a donation in [...]

I was recently listening to the podcast The Potter's Cast, about a potter, Angela White Wenger. She's doing something amazing, which is capturing spider webs and transferring them to clay. And I got to thinking, where do all of our ideas come from? I immediately wanted to go out and try to do the same, but really, it would just be copying her. (and she gets up at dawn to capture these and I'm not [...]
I'm going to NY next week, I think this will have to be on my agenda! Rozin’s anthropomorphic PomPom Mirror features a synchronized array of 928 spherical faux fur puffs. Organized into a three-dimensional grid of beige and black, the sculpture is controlled by hundreds of motors that build silhouettes of viewers using computer-vision. Along its surface, figures appear as fluffy animal-like representations within the picture plane, which is made permeable by a ‘push-pull’ [...]
