back to the table, happenings...

'Back to the Table' is a problem. 

Its an excellent idea for a ceramics-focused emerging artist exhibition. 
So maybe I should rephrase that, Its my problem. My ceramics dont respect the table the way tableware does...

So my tactic is to re-present the table.

The table space, a place of spatial arrangements, of meaning and traditions.... so naturally I got the whole lot - made cups and plates, and made my own arrangements ! 

The exquisite skills necessary to make tableware are developed over years of practice and study. I am happy to say, mine are not anywhere in that league of skill.... mine are far more superficial in intention and function. 

Here are some action photos, of what is developing; I found some kitchen benches and tabletops..... and have prepped them for hanging ;)

there are some things I just cant say

Its true.
Sometimes I need to keep my big mouth shut.
But not about art. lets put it out there.... whatever it is. Ive started a forum on rachaelmccallum.com/the-future-forum

Which is set up to be a free place where you can say what YOU like, and even go back on your word haha, there is so mich to know about art there are bound to be mistakes,  the best thing about art is that your not meant to know anything to read the language presented. ... its jist sometimes deeper and more fun if you have it in your noggin'.

So feel free to vent or winge or complement or praise whatever your heart desires, about the situation of being an emerging artist is very interesting,  but the human condition itself is complex and intriguing....
