Peach pit for scale. More than 100 tiny toads hop around all day in this backyard that is mowed and maintained. I imagine how much more life this yard could harbor if it were unmaintained and left alone to grow.
Our eurocentric ideas of yard maintenance are enormously wasteful. More beauty and life can be enjoyed with less work and money.
Thoughts?

My thesis work in gradschool is about the interdependent relationships of organisms. A diverse community of pieces in the cluster creates a more successful work. It's like an unmaintained plot of land near Notre Dame's ice arena. Here, they let the vegetation grow wild. Left alone, the plants self organize into a beautiful and robust society of organisms who's roots web together for heightened defense. At the same time, they offer shelter to bugs and birds. It is a diverse collective, a complex system of interwoven relationships. .

I'm pretty happy to occupy a public space with an installation. These creatures are under the stairs at the Duncan Student Center at the University Notre Dame

The texture and color that comes from a lot of glaze and a reduction cool👌

This piece is inspired by pollinating organisms. I coil built up, then flipped it to finish the form upside down. Finally, I turned it on its side and made some additions. This way of working from various perspectives is an intuitive process that opens the door to forms I could never think of otherwise. I couldn't sketch this, I don't have the skills. I certainly didn't think of it in the conventional way. It is a true "making as a way of thinking" process.

Great morning studio vibes. So grateful to call this spacious studio my own! Making the most of gradschool by using the summer to make work for my thesis exhibition. Nothing but open, relaxed, creative, making for the next three months.

One of the stranger ones. The "nose" was made by simply squeezing the clay in my hands. .

There is a strange and mysterious surface affect that occasionally happens when I reduce cool. In the following photos there appears to be fissures, stretch marks, or tectonic cracks. I've even seen it occur with flashing slips. The piece is sound and properly fused. My guess is the glaze hardened and had a slight re-melt. Can @john.britt1@pete.pinnell @neelyjc or any other glaze wizard tell me what is happening here? This piece has a layering of Neely's Sea Slug and VC matte. I reduced cooled a soda kiln to 1710 🤔

Organs or organisms, either way it's about the interconnected relationships among every component .

These are creatures of compost, creatures of the mud. The beginning of my grad thesis. .

Finally finished this "multi-species muddle." These creatures are engaged in an intertwined and evolutionary existence.
More details to come... .
