Artist's Statement:
ITE offered me the opportunity to work with other turners, learn new techniques,
expand the approach to my work; all without the demands of everyday life
and in a setting conducive to the creative process. In some ways it is difficult
to move away from familiar forms, but ITE is about experimentation, expansion
and collaboration. Using new woods and tools, freeing myself to play and
exchange concepts and ideas with the other residents resulted in a wide variety
of work. As I prepare to return to my own studio, I wonder about the effect
on my work that the ITE residency will ultimately have and how I will use
what I've learned this summer. |
