I am so happy to know that I have always approached art like an artist and not a critic. I can remember getting up close to paintings of ladies in lace as a child and wondering how the painter created the illusion of something so ethereal. The wonderful thing was that the experience, rather than ruining the it for me, enhanced it instead. Thanks for sharing the behind the scenes process of your work. It makes the magic all the more magical.

When looking at the lead piece shown here, as I look at any one square it seems to grow larger than those around it. Just me?

I find everything you create, your art, your book, your writing, to be highly inspirational. Thank you so much for sharing not just your work, but your thoughts and your process. I recently watched a food related documentary wherein the chef/subject stated that “life begins at the edge of your comfort zone.” Thanks for encouraging us to go there.

I love the quote from your child. So true and so spontaneously profound. Looking forward to seeing more of your 3D vessels. I actually used one of your wall pieces for inspiration for a vase idea in ceramic class about 2 years ago. :)

Thank you for writing again. It looks like you are feeling a lot better, and the creative vessels you are doing look extraordinary. I'm sorry I couldn't get to Vancouver to see your show there. "Ate the last one & broke the dish" looks incredible. My brain looks at it and tires to figure out what is going on with the colours.. its like it wants a linear, stable fade from top left to bottom right but the dissonance in the colour forces me to look again, and again and again. Its not directly shaded from one area or side to the next but my brain wants to see it that way. Which is sort of "seen magic". And I agree with Don Ellis below that focusing on one square seems to make it larger in place. Super interesting. Looking forward to seeing your back muscle up to do that medium vessel in clay. :). Thanks again for sharing. Extraordinary once again.
