Sleep-Talker: Wet Clay
Merlin in the Tree: sculpture mix, still wet.
I'll probably change the name of the mask by the time I finish forming, firing, and glazing the piece. I often do. And, sometimes, I don't really know the piece's name, the art's essence, until I've taken it from the studio and sat with it for a while, or placed it in a tidepool or the shorebreak. Often, the piece is a vessel for moods and conceits that are forming and evolving along with the work itself.
That's a talking mask, for sure, but then I'm a bit of a talker too.
