Gulgong 2013

Thanks to terrible reception in rural Aus, this post is delayed, but the ideas are still cool;
SO,iTs been a long while since I have posted . But irs also been a long while since I felt like this. ...

Im currently at Clay Push in Gulgong and I am having a great time with my new found friends, but there is a feeling of difference and mourning here since the death of Janet Mansfield earlier this year,  and the organizers devotion to her legacy which sets the newer unfamiliar generations aside while. The sense of excitement for future of ceramic art isn't as strong in the atmosphere as in my heart. So what better way to cheer the lot up than with Bubbles !!!

( I was a unicorn, naturally ;)

Last night we NAS  students dresed up and had an excellent time at our own show opening thanks to the encouragement of a select special few.

... for all those who think I was drunk and not guna make it to the next day>>
Here is flirtation pt sunrise;

Okay okay so its about eight now. .. not sunrise,  but not too bad. .. ; p

>>Soon there will be The Bubbling Unicorn's photos uploaded!!

Studio mess!

Check out my studio! 

Oh therapy can you please fill the void !

Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed?
Thanks Greenday for giving me this great idea- that the two can sometimes be indistinguishable

After looking at a selection of 'outsider art', I have blurred my understanding of what is art as a mode of expression and idea communication. 
To be fair I should give you some photos :

It looks so free and so intense... I am not sure if what I do is any more informed than those drawings.
Is the pure fact tjat I am attending art school mean that I should therefore be more capable to make an art piece ?
I wouldnt say so, but it would help with conviction in spreading the peices to the world.
