We have a lot of shelves in the studio, filled with all
kinds of things, even other potters who come into our spaces comment on
the organization. It's hard to believe it looks organized to
anyone.
With whatever wall space that is still there, that is
taken up with whatever........take a look.....

 |
| This door leads to the
chemicals and large kiln, Sue has posted pictures of
inspirational pieces of pottery on it. |
Can you see the cube
hanging in the air. It hangs over Sue's wheel like a
cloud, it has pictures on it, I have to ask her what it means. |
|
|
|
There's a beam that Sue hangs all sorts of
things from. Baskets, old teapots and pine cones,
gourds, trinkets from our trip to Chinatown, mugs, more pine
cones..... |
|
|
|
This is above Sue's wedging table. She
has a list of the
Clay Weights of all the pottery she makes. |
 |
|
| On the very top is a poem Sue
wrote.
"A child's boots stick in the mud
Puddles dry and crack
Images whirl pas on a long bus ride
Fodder for a future potters dreams"
Below that are the sayings that Sue
writes on her Goblets. |
This I've shown before in the blog,
they are Henna designs that Sue keeps up to inspire her new
"Multicultural" design pottery. |
 |
 |
| I work out thoughts on
large pieces of newsprint, then hang them around the studio
while I think about them. |
Behind that drawing on
the left this paper hat is pinned to the wall. It was worn
by me as "Teach" in American Buffalo. |
 |
| Says it All
When I use to get the Sunday Times I would cut out pictures
and words all the time. One time I made an art piece out
of a bunch of word strips from the Art Section of the Times and
entered it into a show, got an honorable mention. |

 |
| Family photos and a
Christmas picture from a very young CJ |
Charcoal on newsprint

A copy of my Woodstock
ticket, and a poster, after the fact.
I was on leave from Vietnam for this concert. From War to
Love in five days. |
The remnant of a once
favorite tee-shirt.
Jefferson Starship in Central Park
w/ The Outlaws in 1975
The painting below it is done by my mother. |
 |
 |
| I have
some whimsical cut-outs on my walls. The kid on the left
has the caption, "This is Art?"
Of course I always have something to do. |
 |
This is a pen and ink
drawing from a couple of photographs I took in Vietnam.
A older girl carries her sister and a boy squats near a
wall. A school bag is
on the ground and parts of a bicycle.
For me it's so emblematic of all wars.
I don't dwell on it, but it was so pivotal an experience for me,
I want it to help shape my thoughts even forty plus years later.
Thanks for looking at our Studio Walls
