A beginner’s guide to constructing the universe-The mathematical archetypes of nature, art and science, states: “In ancient Greece the advanced students ... who were engaged in deep studies of natural science and self-understanding where called mathematekoi, “those who studied all”. The word mathema signified “learning in general, to be aware, to awaken”. If there is such a thing as mathematekoi ( a curious one) using clay as a medium...I am one. I will start in 2012 with making of Gateway 21

Update
Today the last 12 pieces for the Sculpture by the Sea are coming out of the glaze kiln. YEY!!! I am almost at the finishing line, with a month to spare. A record!
I am also working on a new project, and every flat surface in the studio is occupied with porcelain circles:
I am making 365 of them ( + spares).
They are loosely based on this microscopic image of radiolaria (marine plankton), symbolising water drops:
I will tell you more about it closer to the installation date. Being an installation, I won't be able to work out some of the details until the actual setting up on site and I find that quite uncomfortable.
I guess it is called "pushing personal boundaries".
Speaking of pushing personal boundaries,
Tomorrow I will be starting the 3 months residency at Heathcote Museum and Gallery in City of Melville (Perth).
But that is the story for the next blog....
