art educators

February 17, 2016

Anyone who asked me between 2008-2013 what type of art I make, heard me say that I consider my teaching practice to be a series of installation pieces. I would create environments for people, big and small, to engage with materials, with each other, with the world -- observe this, document this, and make it available to others for response. Teaching as art made sense to me.

This weekend, I wondered if there were others out there like me; people who blur the lines between artistic practice and teaching practice. Here are a few folks I came across, who probably understand:

A hundred years ago, I lived in New York city and made a little red monster sculpture from paper maché and acrylic paint. I would take Little Red Monster around the city and photograph him.

Ingvar Cronhammar: The Cisterns

October 28, 2015

Underneath two pyramids, in Søndermarken park, is the former waterworks which is now used as an art space. The current exhibit by Ingvar Cronhammar, uses music, flowing water, and light to transport you. This was at the top of my must-see-list, and I saw it. The photos don't quite do justice though; you should probably just come and see it for yourself.

signature stamp for pottery

October 17, 2015

Scratching my name onto the bottoms of pieces was getting tiresome (and resulted in scratchy clay burrs). I'm very happy to start putting my custom signature stamp from www.claystamps.com to use!
