(Or, "Kinesthetic Learner.")
Aristophanes comes to mind each time I sit down at the wheel. Putting the bowl in the creek and watching the water surround it --working against, working with, working around it-- seemed appropriate too as an extension of the Greek comic poet's claim and of the power of the spiral, the power of flow.
And, I like when a bowl comes out okay.
If I practiced more, such success would be a less remarkable thing, but for now when a decent piece of pottery comes out of the kiln, I'm taking photos.
(The last shot: a cordial nod to the fellow veterans of this particular and ursine alma mater.)
