4:23 PM: today is the first day since I fell & injured my knee that i’m back in the studio. I got here about an hour ago to prepare for k., who will be continuing work on his land/sky-scape. it’s the best he’s done yet, in my opinion. I was all set to do more work on il torrent, but when k. saw it, he loved it in it’s current state, so that opinion plus the pain in my knee made me decide to make this post instead.
the other day I got the urge to photograph ceramic plates that sit in various parts of our house, & post them on FB. the reactions were many; all very positive.
as I peruse them(there are 7 below, although that’s not all of them) i’m admiring them more & more. my collaboration with sculptor & ceramicist joseph meerbot was unexpected. one day he showed up at four door in the home we owned at the time in palm beach, Florida. he had a truck full of ceramic plates, and said “i’m not good at painting these platters, but I know you would do something wonderful, so lets collaborate.” so we did, and every so often he’s drive up with his pickup full of unglazed platters. we showed some at helander gallery on worth avenue in palm beach. I sold some & we split the profits. looking back, I love what I did & wonder, if someone showed up today with a pickup full of platters, what would I do?
