The fun of metamorphosis in art is what keeps us creating in the studio!
DEBBIE
Metamorphosis means to transform, to have striking change.
When creating art there is indeed a metamorphosis from the beginning of a painting to when I feel it is complete.
Often artists carefully preplan their work in order to avoid missteps along the way,
and I do as well for commissioned pieces or competitive art.
When painting every day in my studio, however, it’s a whole different process.
I will start a painting with abstract under layers, often 6 or 7 layers deep.
Then I “find or feel” my theme from the abstractions and build from there, letting the art speak to me as I go.
It’s a very exciting way to create and I enjoy the problems that can arise from this method.
The painting becomes a puzzle or mystery for me to solve…..it’s a very joyful and challenging way to work.
RICHARD
Working with clay is also an exploration that leads to often surprising and welcome outcomes.
Experimenting with form and glaze is never entirely predictable as you have ingredients and kiln firings that are always unique.
Each piece undergoes extreme change under the duress of multiple firings and the outcomes are always exciting.
