documenting last year (a year of something else):

2012

Ceramics: November and December

Various hand built small gifts, gathered in sets of three - six pieces.

last year...

Last year was busy with other things, so I wasn't making art in the same way. I had moved to Perth, for love, yes. We have moved 4 times in the last 2 years...and had to get another job to support the change and I am now, after almost a year of time in waiting, finally set up and painting again. First day tomorrow in a new communal studio. In Perth. Something new, something a little exciting. *(three garages and a spare room and 2 verandahs later).

So I had a year of waiting. I was still making things any chance I wasn't merging my life with another's, and the nature of the work was in the style of doing some of those things I hadn't made time for in amongst exhibition deadlines in 2011 and before. I was making small gifts, revisiting commissions and revisiting old abandoned pieces, when they appeared to me in a different light. I threw most of my energy into creating useful temporal pieces.

I have posted a few images below of some of the quieter projects from 2012.
