A great leap forward..on to Tumblers. A process that will require a partner to make a punty. Andrew sketched (i can't bring my self to type drew..andrew drew) the stages on the floor of the work shop...if we have anything much more complicated we may run out of floor space...though i imagine stages will condense as we get to know them.
Somehwere in the world there is probably a unit measure for the amount of liquid that will fit into my smallish cup shaped thing..well it was when it went in the kiln..haven't seen it yet.

Object theory, Week 6, Powerhouse Museum
To the Power House museum for one of their permanent exhibitions
"Inspired! Design across time"
Over 800 objects from the Museum's collection of Australian and international decorative arts and design, from the 1700s to now."
The intent of this trip was to assist us (by the way of examples) in choosing an object for our past present project.
The glass student in the group became captivated by the footage of glass artists.
The clip on Dale Chihuly was well viewed.
Concepts - Materiality and Process, Week 6
My Material is rusty bolts and nuts. The two are now through age, time and oxidisation fused together. see scan
I'm pinning my whole bunch of concepts on the theme of metamorphosis.
The transformation from shiny man made precision useful tool to a more organic form.
the fusion of two parts to make one. The triumph of nature over the man made object..eventually.
After learning a few tricks on photoshop:
the bolts copied and rearranged to create a horse like sculpture. reminiscent i think of ancient representations. Amazing now how the bolts suggest such animation in their new curvy organic shapes. I immediately think of horses legs when i see them, so here goes for horse made out of bolts...
Horse has bolted
A mock up showing massive reproductions in a sculpture park, the back drop is the Dooralong Valley.
A line drawing print for fabric for a chair...hmm what kind of chair..well I guess it would have to be a Hob nob.
