Thinking about how much of the art I’ve made recently deviates so far from what’s been comfortable for the past twenty years. I can’t really claim that I don’t -or can’t- draw or paint anymore; and a teaching opportunity to play in ceramics has been a new avenue to re-explore.

The background is incomplete: a series of lines and shapes on a light graphite grid. In the upper left corner, a reference photograph from which the artist is working.
