evolving pots

Ok so for the last month and a bit my life has changed so dramatically. I moved from my 10 week desert home to Shepparton in Victoria for a week of exhibition install and opening night excitement. From there I spent 5 days in Melbourne to explore gallery's, museums and artist run spaces. It wasn't long before I was flying again...this time to Adelaide for the Triennial Ceramic's conference.

WOW! now that I have written it all down I can't believe this was only a little while ago......but anyway more about that later. I have more desert stories to write. 

Firstly I need to apologise for the lack of communication. I have been neglecting the blog for ages now and I really need to post about all the wonderful things that have happened.  

You might remember that while at the art centre in Titjikala I was making large hand built pots that were being decorated by the artists. I have such lovely memories of every aspect of my time in the desert but this is one of my fondest. It was wonderful to be involved everyday as each artists marked, scratched or painted lines on their pot. 

to watch these terracotta forms be transformed into works of art was amazing. I loved charting to each artist about the stories and landscape.
