Contemporary artist currently focused on ceramic sculpture and some pottery. I use alternative firing methods, underglaze painting, and often use locally harvested clay. One part perfectionist 1 part hillbilly mess.

I thought you were just going to say, “$304B this year” but no. Just yesterday. I just think, the operating budget for my whole territory (the NWT in Canada), is $2B/year. It’s like, how is money real?

Wow. Remember when it was all, why are all female characters just about sexiness, and then 30 years later they have so much more depth. And Hercules was a good guy and had a lot of depth and now Kevin Sorbo is a write off.

Dene still remember a lot of these animals through their stories (some I have to stretch my reality to fit them in.) I hope they never bring back the giant beaver, Dene stories really emphasize how dangerous the giant beavers were.

I really like the idea of making clay, which comes out of the ground, look like other beautiful things on the ground/earth.

The emergence is a strong concept and I like the ceramics with other materials. To me it reads like a sewer grate, especially the outside ring, and with a second look it also looks a bit like a barbecue (that’s probably me looking too hard).

It’s a strong piece!

Thanks! I just finished making a mold of this one I’ll cast and polish the finished ones with a terra cotta clay. I’m looking forward to moving on to the next step I’ll be sure to post more process videos.

It’s just a low fire clay anything works as modeling clay. I suppose if your clay really slumps a lot you’d need an armature.

It’s awesome! Very impressive painting!

Thanks! I’m thinking 5 but I’ll see when I draw it all out on the piece. I could readjust the fingers if I need to.
