Alexis' question for Wayne
I think there is an interesting layering contrast of manmade and natural in this piece, you take the clay and force it to be this square- but it cracks in places as is its nature. Then you take an image of nature-cumulonimbus- and put your interpretation of that on the tile. Did you consider these contrasts in the making of the piece, or were they a sort of side effect? And what would you say about the amount of control you took in the making of it?

Good observation Alexis......As a mater of fact, my intention with this piece was/is to establish number of contrasts that then measure each other in a conversation of opposites or oppositions, which contextualize or characterize experience. Control...I refer to my approach as "controlled acquiescence."
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I enjoyed your last entry and its very, sensitive reveal of color observations. Best, Professor Wayne
Thanks- i think I might like writing in this blog too much, it gives me an excuse to be ridiculously descriptive.
ReplyDeleteI read some of your other answers and the controlled acquiescence fits right in with buddhism and impermanence- things are what they are and they wont be later so you do what you can with them while they're around.
