deconstructing someone else's work


 





 


I was asked if I'd like to recycle the clay from Andrew McQualters work A form made by constructing a coil pot in the space between Craig & me, from Assembly: Contemporary Ceramics at Margaret Lawrence Gallery. I've never met Andrew, and he wasn't present when I was pulling apart the work, but it was pretty incredible to use my hands to undo something that held the finger prints of something him and Craig had made. I guess our conversation is in the work. 

This terracotta is going to be recycled into plant pots for natives by myself and many other willing hands. We'll use the coil pot method, and the social aspect remains. From one thing to another...
