The Development of the Nerikomi Range
The entire point of this post is to reflect on my growth as a ceramic artist. I still constantly feel like I am not there yet. There are too many ideas in my head and I haven't been able to execute even 10% of them. Technical frustration, skill limitations, artistic frustration and external feedback all get to me. This is my reminder to you (and myself) that it is a process. Racing to the end is not possible but also not what is going to make the journey worthwhile. As I have gone through this journey from 2016 to now I have made 100s of mistakes, 100s of works that while I was proud of at the time I would happily see smashed now but I continue to move forward.
Pottery is not instant satisfaction and I am so grateful for that. Students always say to me 'how do i ....' and as insanely annoying as it is its practice.
Here is to practice. My practice, your practice moving forward, continuously improving and trying as hard as I can to enjoy all the bumps along the way.
