ceramics

Clay, this is where I first learned to create something meaningful with a pace of true presence and care…you can’t skip a step or rush into the next because it’ll eventually come back and bite you in the ass…there must be devotion and diligence to the craft…carelessness only led to frustration and disappointment...once the piece was completed, for whatever reason something might have gone wrong and then it shatters...right before you, realizing the hours of energy spent to only have disintegrated in the very same palms you gave life to a simple ball of clay…this is when I understood how attaching ourselves to anything obsessively can become a burden, holding us back from moving forward. Working with clay taught me the value of separating ourselves from the negative misconceptions of failure and seeing each repeated attempt as a new unlocked fortune we may have never known was there before.

I have taken a break from ceramics since I’ve moved due to lack of equipment and funds but am planning on returning to produce ceramic work again soon. ♡
