People, as a whole, will do a lot
to not only prove to themselves they love something, but to others as well. It
is something that we have adapted into our modern society with terms like
“Facebook official” and posting as many statuses and pictures that involve the
people we love. All of these things would eventually lead to marriage for some,
for others not. Marriage isn’t their way for proving their love, but in their
life isn’t there something they would break their own rule for? And in extreme
cases, die for.
I wouldn’t die for ceramics but as
an potter there is a lot I would do for my craft. This Instillation was my “Facebook official”.
‘24hours of pots’ was my expression of love and we went all night long. For months I found myself with artist block.
Not creating was making me a slightly more angry person, frustrated by the fact
that everything I made wasn’t helping me progress. Staying the studio for 24
hours, I didn’t think about anything else and didn’t do anything else but make
pots. My body and mind exhausted at the end but I don’t regret a thing. I
worked through my artist block and into work I am happy with.
I would like to thank the work that was made in that block
of time for helping me push through my struggles and to the wheel that didn’t
give up on me and kept me company.
You all mean a lot to me.
