Over a month ago a
friend commissioned me to create a clay piece for her atrium. She needed art that could handle being
outside. Clay is perfect for that. She told me I could create anything I like as
long as it hangs on a wall and is not too large. The possibilities were endless. Hundreds of ideas ran through my head. Finally I settled on an idea that had a
personal connection to my friend. After
a couple of sketches I constructed the piece.
I had so much fun! It was like
drawing without a pencil. This is my
first relief sculpture, and certainly not my last. I enjoy the process of working with
clay. It combines my fine art and
crafting skills, 2D and 3D, and is a nice break from painting and jewelry.
Yes! I love it! So much so, that I'm unexpectedly terrified of having it fall off the wall. So now I need to rethink the hanging hardware.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are enjoying it Anna. One of those plastic wall anchors will do the trick if you are worried.
