Studio intensive 8/10/20

No meaning art.

Working the clay – moment to moment – attention purely on the piece that is right now in my fingers – being there with it – in its’ form. The ‘isness’ of it.

The connection I have with it – a relationship? At times a happy fun relationship – bits do funny things! – create shapes I haven’t expected – ping into new weird shapes that please me! At times it feels like a battle… the clay dense and clinging and un-co-operative…   That’s because I’m trying to impose on it something it doesn’t – can’t-  yield to….. It’s more fun when it’s my friend. …. When it flows – when we flow.
