'Body', as curated by Matt Nolen, is an exhibition of contemporary ceramics
by 6 New York artists providing diverse
interpretations of figuration:
vessel as metaphor, social and political commentary, depictions of heaven and hell, microscopic forms, body as shelter,
oral obsessions and the culture of desire, arousal and consumption are just a few of the themes found in this exhibition.

Converted paper mill served as studio and lodging.

Stacked kiln ready to fire. "After" shot coming soon.

Stoking! Gorgeous brand new kiln with 14' chimney.

I know I look hot in more ways than one.

This past weekend I participated in CraftBoston, a premier craft show at the World Trade Center in Boston, MA. 200 vendors from jewelry to furniture each had a booth showing their handmade, beautiful work. I was quite impressed! There is so much original work out there, no one should have any reason to give all their dollars to the big box stores. Plastic is not good for you or the environment anyway. Thanks to all those that put the show together and to those that showed up to shop in these challenging economic times.

2009-03-22T19:23:00.000-07:00

I had some new work photographed by a great photographer and friend Caryn Posnansky.

Check out her website at www.carynleighphotography.com

Look for new work at my booth at CraftBoston, on my website and in my etsy shop soon.
