Started Thinking Again



This week I looked up images of work that was thrown on the wheel and altered, because this is a direction I want to go. I found several things that fit this description, but not to the extent I was hoping for. These pieces still were to close to the circle shape from the wheel. I thought maybe Chris Gustin's work had what I was looking for, and after researching his methods I found that they were coil built.


So I decided the best thing to do is look for images of my friend Eric Hoefer's work, because what he was my first inspiration to start using the wheel as a tool. I only had the chance to start working like this for about a year before coming to KCAI and I have so many ideas to try out as well as successfully recreate the pieces that failed.
