I think of drawing as shifting, as instability, impermanent, transient, ephemeral, in flux, time, chance, wild, seasons, cycles, states of transition and experience.

Earthly roughness and unpredictability in western raku firing. I’m learning techniques in ceramics that create surface texture by adding layers of material. Next: incorporate more impurities like the wild clay slips I’ve painted with in my drawings.

I can finally share a project by my Spring 2D Design class, installed over the entrance of Chinook Hall on the Corvallis campus to raise awareness about bird strikes that happen on the building windows along the Dixon Creek watershed. We walked the historic tributaries and tucked away creek to observe, sketch and collaborate on ideas for decal designs. This project was funded by a Peace Initiative Grant at Linn Benton Community College.

(((Clay + Drawing)))
Figuring things out, returning to unfinished drawings and sketches, working with clay.I signed up for a community clay class at LBCC this term, bringing with me ideas from unfinished drawings and old sketches, hoping the forms that come to life in clay add something more tangible to the drawings. We’ll see.
