Time heals all wounds.
These are a big part of me. It is unusual for me to do Hand Built work out of assignment. Do to my pride of functionality. I chose to do these and set them up from fall to summer. When I was creating these it was fall time and my dad passed away. I chose the seasons for several reasons to show change, passing of time, and location. I did a large wound in fall to symbolize how I was feeling and showed it closing over time. I chose to incorporate bowls because I think bowls are one of the most functional forms of ceramics. I used them to show the seasons, but also emotion. I feel like sometime I am right side up and other times upside down. So in fall I felt a little upside down. In winter I turned right side up. I guessed for spring and summer. I hoped I would be more open in spring. I found that by summer the wound though still apparent was healed, also my bowl was so full that I could no longer contain it. That is why it is up in the trees for summer.
