Nate inspired this post... I currently have a piece in the 1920's gallery, as well. Sooo....It, "Restored", was created through applying a watercolor glaze to stoneware. I would like to try this again sometime soon. My heart, world view, ideas, and fears went into this piece. It was a massive experiment that turned out quite well. It touches on one of my concepts of art: art that brings restoration and healing through the process. I can go into further detail on the explanation of my piece later...but for now, HERE IT IS.
defamiliarization!! yes
ReplyDeletethis speaks to me. the face you painted is lovely, but the surface it's on enhances it all the more. it would be interesting to see how the message would change if you removed some pieces ((from a different face, not this one...)) or even rearranged the parts of the face.
