The Dark Side





Well one of the beauties of digital cameras is ya can come home and look at your work from a distance and better yet ya can have long distance friends looking at your work and give ya great ideas. The seams had been bothering me and a friend sent a photo shop picture of ledges to make the seams look like ledges and not seams. So I hurried up to the studio and spent the day making ledges.
Here are some rocks in Logan Canyon just outside the University. Also this is a pic taken of me by one of my Introductory Ceramic students of 2 years ago that went to the the dark side- photography! Cody Bell took this pic with his 4 x 5 camera. Yes, they still make film. Cody enlarged the picture to 30 x 40 for his Bfa grad show. I could see the nose and ear hair- scary it was. Sheila said I looked grumpy. Joe Davis said that is how a grad student is supposed to look 6 weeks before his show.

I like those two pieces the best out of everything I've seen on your blog. Can't wait to see 'em fired.

Hey Tony, nothing wrong with the "DarkSide", remember I did that for years before turning to
"Stone".
I like the additions, adds great character to the piece, and the little guy you are, you will have a place for a toe hold when you climb them!!!

Hey Tony apparently, I don't have to be "Anonymous" anymore.
this is it....third photo down, rock ledges and erosion...this is the ju-ju. The only thing better than pressed or combed texture is big ass, three demensional texture.

I think adding the ledges was a good idea. They look less like big pots. Can't wait to see them all fired and finished.

Hey Tony...
I check in on your blog periodically. Looks like your latest work is getting quite vigorous!! I don't know if you know it but my son got married up in Logan Canyon. It was easily the nicest wedding I have attended. Risidual snow and mountain flowers and all!
Do be well, my friendd.
