Stasis

So many unknown quantities and directions in this period of suspended animation as I wait to hear the outcome of negotiations regarding where I will be living next year. So many changes to occur at the end of the approaching summer that I can hardly plan ahead until I know for sure what they will be.Life in stasis - hopefully only till I know for sure.
Or, perhaps as the heat sets in so does sluggishness, and perhaps the time limit of living in a place not my own - has been reached anyhow. Change, one of my major motivations - is calling out of every corner including the cupboards that need sorting out again....
And so it is not without reason that this brittle balance of time is in these egg-shell light pieces which are still to be refired with the glaze.
These fragile vessels are made in terracotta earthen ware, white fine clay and gray stoneware low fired. Fine and delicate as they are, absolutely NO paper clay was used after all.

Time Out

Despite my absolute faith to the contrary, it turns out that I am unable to do everything at once.
Job hunting, going to interviews, flat hunting, promoting my translation services and decision making regarding income and the immediate future - take their toll on my creativity.
I haven't really done any work in the studio since creating the Made in Israel collection, other than holding my workshops.
One of my students advised me tactfully, that she is disappointed when she comes into the studio and sees no new work of mine. I do get that and it has pinpointed my current state of mind.
I have started blogs a few times in the past month, but had nothing to talk about in terms of my art . Now I realize that in itself is a fact worth considering and solving.
Well, hopefully I will soon know the status of my home dilemma. Hopefully translations will start pouring in soon,and the new exhibition opening on the 1st of May will drum up more interest.
Something to guarantee an income unless I find a position that does that.
Meantime, my creative urge has been spent on apple graphic software ( instead of clay) making new brochures and a business card.
