Fly away home


I went through a bird loving phase a few years ago.  I still love them, but I mean, I was turning everything into a bird.  It started with a project in my Ceramics 1 class in college.  We had to make a "self portrait" using some kind of animal and some sort of scriptural reference.  I chose a bird, made about 50 of them and piled them up in a cage.  I'm not sure exactly what this means, psychologically, as a self portrait, but it remains one of my favorite art pieces I have ever made.


I also went crazy with some extra clay and glaze experimentation and made many many more birds.  I am now offering some of these on my shop.
