For the past two weeks, I've taken a break from my Reinterpretation piece. I'm working on making a piece for our raku pit fire. I rolled a slab and cut out the oval shape for the base, then coiled, then cut with a wire for the slant. There's been some stuff going on with my mental health lately, so this piece has been mostly my way of working out my recent emotions. The process of making my piece has been about just doing what feels right. Making my piece has been extremely calming and working on it has cleared my head. It's about going with flow, and doing something that makes me comfortable. Clay isn't my favorite medium; I've always found it hard to work with. It's always been hard to execute my designs the way i want to but this piece has been going very well. I'm expecting a bit of a struggle with burnishing because of all the small areas and changes in relief. I also haven't decided what colors I'll be going for when we put them in the pit fire.
