Here are two more wall sculptures, large flat tiles, which are about ten inches square. After firing I'll attach a mechanism on the back to hang them on the wall. The first is a vine on a brick wall clinging to life; the next a sailboat adrift in what appears to be calm waters, except the waters go on forever.
I like the blended and multicolored hues of the bricks; this wall sculpture is really growing on me, no pun intended. Now that I look at it I could have had the vine go beyond the brick. I might make another one and do that. I think I could change the water patterns in the second one, maybe the third color should have been green instead of lavender.
I made a large chick(en) tile, but it's rather strange looking, four ghostly chicks, I need to make a few more tiles to try and hone my raw emotion into something more recognizable before I post them. Posts about the albino mystery and more recipes coming soon. Happy Monday to you. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
You're bricks look great. I do some brickwork on pots too and have found it is really fun. Your images don't make me as sad as your commentary about them, I hope all is well with you.
ReplyDeleteHi Lori, thanks, I think these two are a reflection with what is happening with the economy in our country right now. I am sure so many folks are clinging to life monetarily and feel helpless, like drifing in a sea of water, as to what the can do about the situation to change it. I know I feel that way right now.
ReplyDeleteOh Lori, I remember you did have some pos with bricks on your blog when I first visited a year or so ago. I'll have to go back and look at them, thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteI really like that brick and vine but am sorry if they remind you of darker emotions. I found the stableness of the brick comforting.
ReplyDeleteHi Patti, thanks, you know that's how brick is, there is a lot of brick in Arkansas and I find a stabilizing influence, solid, made of clay, (yeah) and withstands winds and the elements very well. I think if we can cling to something strong we'll be ok.
