Extensions of ideas

Straight out of this morning's kiln firing, here are some sculptural pieces built as part of a small paper-and-earthenware assemblage. The first photograph is before the firing during the "thinking" stage. These have no surface treatment at all but I think the combination of paper and clay (much like I did for the Art League show) has a lot of promise. I hope my beloved studio partner has lots more cast and pressed paper for me to steal!
Surface treatment is still a question, but whatever it is, experimenting will be fun. Think Klimt. I see these pieces as both free-standing and wall hung . . they are definitely works in progress.
