Clay...as primal and seductive as the fire that transforms it.

My favorite : Jane Hammond's piece. Also empowering, inspiring and liberating
Tierra y Libertad! Revolution and the Modernist Mexican Print, also shown at the MMOCA, showing through a collection of prints the idea of breaking free from a different perspective.
Rufino Tamayo, Zapatista, 1925. Linoleum cut. 10 x 7 ½ inches. Collection of the MMOCA |
José Guadalupe Posada, Los Siete Vicios, date unknown. Zinc etching, 8¾ x 9-3/8 inches. Collection of the MMOCA |
Diego Rivera, Escuela al aire libre, 1932. Lithograph, 15-11/16 x 21½ inches. Collection of the MMOCA |
Topping off the weekend with The Artist, the movie directed by Michel Hazanavicius.
An inspiring story about a man that was able to move on from the past and with help, find his voice and break free from his own limitations.

In search for color...
Color...so hard to get it just right.
Last April I wanted to try some of my head cups in the woodfire.
I love how the fire and wood ashes transform the color and texture of the raw clay, kind of a nice sunkissed glow.
Morenito was the right candidate. A timid red oxide wash on the skin and hair, then wood fire glazes for the rest.
Could I get more than beautiful browns?
Fun!, worth exploring some more...next time maybe a thicker coat of underglaze, specially on the blue.

This time I went more painterly with the red iron oxide and got a chance to try some Coyote High Fire underglazes to see what happened...
The woodfire glazes were left just for the lining the cups.
