The Beats

Hello friends. This week was not very productive for me. Between studying for midterms and getting some weird food poisoning I didn't get very much done. I did have a very good conversation with Erica on Tuesday though which is creating a good context for me to really determine what my subject matter is really about. She posed the question of -what kind of environments would my organisms live in, and would they blend in? This is a simple question, but that could really hep me determine what I'm going for.

I went to the library and looked through a ton of ceramic magazines for inspiration and to really just get an idea for what the possibilities are for my surfaces. I am mostly attracted to the rock-like surface texture seen a little here with artist Liang Jia Huar... I will find a better example and post it.
I'm in the process of making a ton of surface samples since my texture has been decided, and I plan on testing them over break. Speaking of break, I'm really excited because I'm staying in Ann Arbor for the week.
