Wednesday, December 11, 2013. The Work of An Artist. The vortices of the triangle represent the maker, the object, and the viewer independently. The circle represents works that attempt to reflect what art should do- engage and enlighten. Works that lie outside of the circle and at the vortex of any two sides fail. They are either about self (get analysis), or pandering (full of insecurities), or tchotchkes (possible virtuosity aside). 2 (and a half) very good triangles. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Bryan McGrath: August 2010

Sunday, August 29, 2010. New season, semester and transitions. The nest isn't quite empty in the way our front porch robins managed it along (twice! This summer, but the transition from being mom and dad of a high schooler to that of a college coed is more difficult than I ever imagined. I know many are in the same boat. It is an emotional ride- a "tour de France" in the art of parenting. We'll all make it, I know. Labels: new porcelain work. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Monday, September 21, 2009. Firing the PrattMWP salt kiln. This semester we will be posting firing methods for the salt kiln. As I emailed a student yesterday, you can break the firing process down in a number of ways. For our purposes we will organize things this way-. Or during the firing. I prefer the interaction with the kiln as it ages and changes. Nothing like it. Next while drinking a Guinness with good company. We will talk about technical aspects of firing and management of the kiln; how the kil...
