Shadows and Slots

I am continuing to explore creating shadows with simple forms. These 3/4 plaster spheres have been filed to make a slot and then all 49 placed in a grid with the slots randomly positioned. Who knows why but looking at it makes me feel calm and peaceful, (although a little annoyed that not every sphere is in focus) must try harder. The spheres are about the size of a mint imperial, no-one has been fooled yet luckily, they could be nasty if swallowed!slots

Sightings – Blackheath Station early one morning

Is this man so wide awake in the mornings that he powers the station lights from his brain? Or is this man so sleepy in the mornings that he wires his brain to the lights to charge himself up?

Rosemary Wakelin – Pottery

 

My brother sent me this photograph of a little hand-painted ceramic dish our mother made maybe 50 years ago. She and our father both made several dishes in pottery and both signed them with their common monogrammed initials RW , so I’m not entirely sure whose this is but my gut reaction is that it was my mother. It is a perfect example of hand-decorated studio pottery from the ’50s.
