Disaster day

So I didn't think today could get any worse after not getting much sleep, but oh it did.

First

Then while making a new sconce mold, a wall fell and plaster disaster #1 for 2009 occurred. Thankfully, Ashley Bell, was there helping me pour the plaster as I knew there would be a problem, but I wasn't planning on a wall falling... Maybe just a bit of seepage, but not a wall collapse. So I flounced off to Home Depot because I was a bit pissed off and needed real coddle boards so as to not have this problem happen to me again.. (because it has only happened to me)

But we now real coddle boards

Now I'm off to finish the new mold with real coddle boards so I don't loose my mind... what's left of it anyway...

Artist Statement

I have been an artist in some form for the better part of my life. But then again, haven't we all?

I started making art after my grandmother taught me how to crochet when I was 7. That is the spark that I have been carrying throughout my career as an artist.

I continued making art with fiber, thread, yarn, and whatever I could find to create with until I entered high school. That marked the first medium change in my arts that I can recall. This new medium was music. I was well accomplished, playing 4 instruments by the time I graduated high school. While I was playing music though, my visual art took a back burner.

I continued to make art with fiber, but was not able to as much as I would have liked. When I decided to return home from Western Kentucky University, my art had changed a second time. This time it was to web design, creating interactive graphic sites.

As I began school at Indiana University Southeast, I was drawn first to graphic design, then printmaking as concentrations. After taking a ceramics class (my first ever I might add) I was instantly hooked. I spent many nights looking at glaze formulas on the internet and looking for things to try. My biggest accomplishment thus far in my undergraduate career has been my success with crystal glazes. It gives me a stepping stone to add a more unique quality to something that might otherwise not be visually appealing.
