the clay cliche show

today i installed the clay cliche show at the old firehouse art center with my good friend and clay artist extraordinaire, caroline douglas. the pieces above are made by me (in my kindergarten clay abilities!), and the photo below is of a chunk of the show with everyone's work. it's been such great fun to begin learning a new medium, so different from painting. it's like playing inthe sandbox again. :)

the idea behind the work is that for the past year, caroline and three other artists have been teaching classes based on cliches (example: "you crack me up," "holy cow," "space cadet," "mad as a wet hen," etc etc), and this show is a visual display of all the cliches we worked with! so much fun.

i'll post photos from the opening on friday night. it's sure to be a good time.

[ps- i got word a couple weeks ago that i was accepted for a show at the old firehouse art center next summer, which is a huge honor! i can't wait.]
