Art Pro Podcast with… me, Carole Epp
I wouldn’t really classify myself as a PRO at anything. I’m stumbling through my life and career trying to figure things out as I go so I find it interesting when others ask to interview me as though I had some type of a system sorted out or special behind the scenes knowledge. The more I know, the more I realize how little I actually know about all things art and career related. But heck I love listening to others talk about the ins and outs of their careers so maybe you’ll like to have a listen to me talk about mine : )
Huge thanks to Jessica Watchorn for the interview it was super fun!

“I started my ceramics practice 20 years ago while training in Mental Health Counseling. Dealing with painful trauma, the darker side of the human spectrum, compelled me to further engage in the meditative and therapeutic process of making wheel thrown functional ceramic pottery, simple forms for use on the table/in the home. I was introduced to wood firing and clay at the same time. The mystery and mastery of the wood firing process, forces me to deal with multiple issues, chance results, community engagement, inevitable frustrations and painfully slow learning of the path of the flame through a stack. Through this process of learning and growth, we are blessed, sometimes, with the flash of the flame and ash drips on pots, and always, with the interaction of the elements of earth, air, fire, water and community.”

“Art has been an obsession of mine since I was a little girl. It
represents a part of me that I have a hard time placing into words
therefore I create. It is intuitive and reactionary process. Often I
have a loose image of what I want to create, but allow for freedom to
respond to materials and form in the production of the work. I use
human beings, flora and fauna because it is a direct way to illustrate
emotions. I use clay because it is a direct way to work with form,
volume and surface.”

As an experimental ceramic artist,
Christopher Reid Flock’s work is profoundly influenced by the
significant time that he spent in Japan and the mentorship that he
received from some of Canada’s most respected potters. Among other
accolades, Flock was the recipient of the Winifred Shantz Award for
Ceramics in 2014. Although this ambitious exhibition will include some
works from his earlier career, it will feature more prominently his
large-scale, installation-based works that whimsically ‘play’ with
notions of function while merging rapid prototyping with classical clay
process.
A companion exhibition will feature works by Flock’s mentors Bruce Cochrane, Diane Nasr O’Young and Kayo O’Young.
