Octopus: sculpture mix; misc. glazes, layered.When I first took this out of the kiln (last summer? the one before?) I didn't like it that much, but now I do. It's good to put a piece aside for a while, until the expectations and intentions fade, until you can look at something for what it is, really. How many times have I re-learned this lesson? Plus one, as they say.
This piece highlights one of the reasons I play with clay. Whether or not anyone likes this, I do; and, I caught something fluid and real in cephlapods in this bit of clay.
