Passionate Meaty Curse

I love swear words, the real meaty ones.  I think it rather improper to say them around strangers, or people you don’t know that well, or to over use them.  When I drop F-bombs it is around those with whom I have a long and shared history.  I want my wood fired work to be exactly like a passionate meaty curse. (The more work I make, the more I will get there).  I remember two grannies coming up to my table full of pottery one evening and I just shuddered inside…I knew that I would have to explain the process in a way that was canned and hammy, covered with white lace doilies.  It was gross.  It was a defining moment.  It was good.  It has given me a stronger and clearer vision about my intentions.  We unloaded the back chamber today, it was a great 19 hour firing!!! Alot of diverse work from 5 different artists.
