week two
I love maps -- love them! I'm still working out what I'm doing here. I think I'm looking for some sort of accidental maps. They're not symmetrical! I'm a sort of cartographer, capturing a place in time. But like a map, a photograph is not reality. I'm making choices about where a world begins and ends. Anyway, I need to think more about it.. I'm thinking about how Julio Cortazar and Jorge Luis Borges created worlds and how they made up histories for these worlds, a little bit. Borges was really into labyrinths; I like thinking about those.

In terms of working over the five weeks - my general process is making batches of work simultaneously and then taking them through all the stages at the same time .... Ie drawing, throwing on the wheel, finishing, bisque firing, glazing .... So it may not be as clean a 1 work per week but I will endeavour to send something through! So far I have a batch of drawings and around 14 cylinders as you'll see in the photos. - Lauren Winstone
The plan was to make 5 single earrings, because of an interest in asymmetry. But the objects are getting fat and seem to be growing up into brooches.
I liked the idea of making 5"by5" sketches which I could trace onto my plastic take-away lids. The aim was to use the whole square, I even tried graph paper (the first two piece are taking AGES)!! I tried to make the drawings go someplace ugly - and then save them and turn them into something I liked. I don't know if I am going to pass that life-guard test, Mr Graphpaper has fallen overboard. I am getting sucked into my old, obsessive chestnut of trying to transform 2D drawings to 3D objects without compromising the looseness and energy in the sketches.
Work often occurs at night, which means(i just posted a crappy place holder photo) and I am doing the more "structural" end of a number of the pieces... because I need more natural light to do the finishing bits. It is starting to feel like I am afraid to actually finish a piece. Even though the details are nearly invisible, they add a richness and a mean shadow..... Slow and steady, scratch, scratch, pierce scratch. - kristin
