Weekend sale finally over and today I’m busy getting the leftover inventory sorted and photographed so that it’s ready to go up on Etsy asap…still might be a while before that all comes together, but oh well…
Oh yeah and don’t forget that ARTIST OF THE DAY month goes live tomorrow, so get your thinking caps on and start commenting if you want in on the giveaway!
A solo exhibition at Anna Pappas Gallery.
3-23 December 2009; Opening Wednesday 2 December 6 pm.
Indigo Kingdom tells a theatrical story of the contemporary human impact upon coral reefs. Using a traditional Thai narrative of an imagined kingdom as a foundation from which to create his own personal kingdom, Srivilasa turns ceramic sculpture into a storytelling device – in this exhibition the installation becomes the reinterpretation of an ancient Thai temple plan.
In the same vein, he uses his work to write his own biography. To guide us through the play of references in this complex commentary, Srivilasa calls upon the help of his mermaid alter-ego. The mermaid, like the coral, is the canary in the mine, an indicator of imminent threat. In all, Indigo Kingdom is as much high-camp globalist fantasy as it is a sober reminder of the environmental crisis of the present day.

Still looking for submissions for next month’s Artist of the Day posts. I’m coming up short you guys…guilt, guilt…please pass the details along to artists you know.
For all the details see the original post here:
Alright folks, I’ve been thinking again lately that it’s time for another ARTIST OF THE DAY month here at musing. Last April was so much fun, so let’s give it another go. This time to sweeten the deal I’m going to be offering a giveaway as incentive to get you guys to send in your work. Here’s how it will go:
Now I know what you’re saying – what about the giveaway Carole?????
There will be 2 prizes, so 2 ways to enter – but you can only win once.
#1 way to win – SUBMIT YOUR WORK!!! I’m going to randomly chose a day of the month out of a hat (after the month has passed) and the artist showcased on that day will be a winner.
#2 way to win – COMMENT,COMMENT,COMMENT!!! Give these artists of the day some love and adoration and you could be on your way to winning! At the end of the month I’ll randomly chose another number out of a hat for a day of the month, then I’ll randomly chose a number to correspond with the number of comments attached to the post. If your comment represents the chosen number you are a winner. If you are the comment winner I’ll notify you at the end of the month to get address info.
Sounds complicated? Naw, simple. All you have to do is send me your info and images ASAP to ensure you have a spot as an Artist of the month and then once the posts go live in December comment as much as you can.
Oh and as for the prizes??? Well it’ll be 2 ceramic items of equal value from the shelves of my studio, not sure what yet, but i promise it’ll be worth it!
It’s up to you guys to make December full of beautiful posts here on Musing, and my gift in return is a piece of my own artwork sent to you, wherever in the world you might live – free of charge.

So I realize I’ve been a bit quieter than usual on the blog and twitter, main reason is I’ve been firing my poor little 3 cubic foot kiln non stop getting ready for the potters guild sale this weekend where I’m going to be selling some of my new line of functional wares. The work I haven’t shared with you yet, as i’m still a bit shy about it….It’s not my usual at all. I’ve been handbuilding – working with simple molds lately, as I haven’t been able to throw for a while now. Why you ask…well long story short, I’ve had some strange skin problem on my hands since I was pregnant with my son 2 years ago. The specialists (ie: dermatologists) are working on it, but in the meantime I can only work in the studio with gloves on, and well I’ve tried throwing with gloves on, and frankly not work the frustration – pieces are either 5 pound cups or they slump from way too much water! Any way, no drama or winny business here…
The point is I’d love to see you guys stop by the sale this weekend if you can make it! And just be gently with your critique of the new work : )

Have an idea for an installation or project, but don’t know how to start?
Developing a public art proposal or applying for a grant and need some advice?
Whether you are working small or large, with clay or mixed media, this workshop could help make your dream project a reality. Award-winning New Brunswick artist Peter Powning welcomes individual project questions provided one month in advance, so he can research specific information and customize the workshop to best suit each student.
Spend the day in an intimate setting of only 12 students, interacting directly with Peter – ‘brainstorming and picking his brain’ and then leave with valuable ‘must know’ and ‘how to’ technical and design advice.
