Home Studio: Week Thirteen in the Studio

This week has been a whirlwind of creativity, community, and unexpected challenges. With the studio located over 17 miles from my apartment, I decided to bring some clay and tools home, transforming my coffee table into a makeshift studio. This change not only saved me the commute but also allowed me to work in the comfort of my own space, surrounded by familiar comforts.

As I delved into my sculpting projects, I found flow in the company of cartoons playing in the background, adding a touch of whimsy to my creative process. Exploring new forms and techniques became a joyous endeavor, fueled by the laughter and camaraderie of those around me.

One highlight of the week was assisting my friend Kade in preparing for his firing, a collaborative effort that underscored the supportive nature of our artistic community. Additionally, attending a gallery reception for a local artist provided valuable insight into the vibrant art scene of Louisville, reminding me of the perspectives that fill our creative landscape

As I look back on this week, I am grateful for the moments of connection, inspiration, and resilience that have defined my practice as an artist. Each experience, whether in the studio, at home, or within the larger artistic community, contributes to my growth and passion for the craft. And with each challenge overcome, I am reminded of the boundless possibilities that await in the pursuit of creativity.
