New developed artworks year 2020

Last year February 2020, I participated in the “RISE 2020” ceramic residency in France organized and guided by Dr.Wendy Gers and Lauren Kearns: https://www.swanceramics.com/blog Look for March 22, 2020.
The research done during those weeks developed to the rediscovery of my love for colors and working with slips and free playful transformed forms.

I restricted myself to a vessel form with a long neck to challenge myself and still including my feature mark of burning Horsehair Raku. I called the vases: “Different views” because of the USA election time that year.

This evolved in “Emotion” Vases: bending the neck to the front or backward or around each other which resulted in beautiful expressions, even though there are no arms.

And all used with the new color slips engraving and sgrafitto technique.

Then I thought I could cut the vase and make legs and from one came the other expressed in certain dance positions: and my all old theme of “Life is a dance” what every body can still use now after so much confinement. So, “Let’s Dance”!!!!
