I am finishing a round of plates and platters this week. I've enjoyed working on four at a time and stretching the pattern across the forms. It is a great exercise to work on balancing density and negative space within the overall design. For my upcoming show at Red Star I will hang these together as a set but this is also a good way to come up with asymmetrical balance on individual platters.

If only I could stick with a theme as you do and bring it to it's full and varied potential
ReplyDeleteLinda, It's always hard to decide when to stick with something and when to let it go. I seem to hold onto subject matter for about four years before I move onto something else. Do you find that you have a time limit before you move onto the next thing?
DeleteI just let my mind and time wander most of the time; I now see I need to start making multiples, hopefully when I get my next studio I can stick to this plan and see where it takes me.
