Art represents one's personality, sometimes better than words can. Conflict can be shown without hate, disappointment without tears. My spirited and outgoing personality is shown with the strong contrasts in both colors and shapes to create an overall positive mood around the artwork.
My pieces are all similar in style, simple being the key word. My first bowl was small, glazed in both cobalt blue and clear, which becomes a reoccurring pattern within my work. My favorite set is a teapot with a matching cup and saucer each painted also in cobalt blue with very texture but similar style. Many of my pieces take on an identical shape, in fact many of my bowls nest together unintentionally. My pitcher is definitely the most aesthetically pleasing, the flowers are in a pattern which draws attention to the overall simplicity.
The difference in tones and colors between glazes show my spirit the best. The cup with the small blue flowers painted on is a great example. The darkness of the stain is clearly defined on a soft background. The shape is unique when compared to my other pieces, which are much more boxy than delicate. Another example is my sunshine mug. Though the color would suggest a dark tone, the contrasting shape of the sun creates a different effect.
Many of my projects are very simple, with slightly flared lips or varying circumference. This seems to be a running shape my artwork takes. I decided to keep projects as simple as possible in both shape and glaze to keep focus on the contrast of my pieces. This helps keep the focus and doesn't distract the eye. An example of this is my set of three, a teapot, teacup and saucer. They all take similar shape, with soft edges rather than sharp corners, which does not distract from the simple glazing.
The clay speaks to me each time i get on the wheel, some times I'm just not listening. When I'm having a good ceramics day it shows in my artwork. My spirited and outgoing personality continues to help me, or hurt me. On a bad day i don't take my time and often end up with off centered pieces or messily glazed bisque ware. Keeping a simple contrast helps me put in effort and come out with quality work.
