guest post: ” show us your influences” with Linda Fahey
Gertrud Vasegaard — this bowl is one that is always in my memory — one of my all time favourite pieces.
Clifford Still – Richard Diebenkorn – Helen Frankenthaler –
they are all enormously influential to me – certainly separately, but as a representative range of abstract expressionists – I think of them often.

George Nakashima — he married old and new in a modern elegant beautiful way — another mid-century giant. He was also ahead of his time in how he used materials to achieve a balance between the constructed and the natural “edge”.

My work is almost entirely hand built. I enjoy so much the construct of
building pieces up in sections. I work with porcelain and black
mountain clays. I’m an illustrator by training, so much of my work is
about working out the relationship of decoration/form and how they marry
well.
podcast thursdays: the Spark with Tift Merritt
The Spark with Tift Merrittidea sparked the song you just can’t get out of your head? Award winning singer
songwriter Tift Merritt does just that with her podcast The Spark. Merritt’s
questions to her talented guests (Emmy Lou Harris, Rosanne Cash, and many more)
get straight to the heart of creativity and the craft of song writing.
Check out her interview with one of my favorite musicians Josh
Ritter. After listening to his episode I posted his quote, “ You have to become
a martyr for your own ideas”, to my studio wall. Visit www.marfaspark.com for
more information or find the show on iTunes.

Radio.

monday morning eye candy: Brian Rochefort
The following via his website:
Rochefort’s sculptures are provisioned by the artist as ‘Gloops’. They
are interpretive, mis-formed, and flawlessly amassed hollow ceramic.
Each piece profiles an affective relationship to the emasculated
characterization of infantile attachment to object. Typically, a teddy
bear, robust at core, falls short of true charity with arms truncated
and squat. In these sculptures, Rochefort’s idea pairs the masculine
iconography of automotive paint with the symbolic gifting of toy for
love.
Brian Rochefort is a Los Angeles based mixed media sculptor working in
ceramic and automotive paint. Born and raised in Rhode Island he
attended the Rhode Island School of Design, receiving a BFA in Ceramics.
He was the recipient of the Lillian Fellowship as an artist in
residence at the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic arts from
2007-2009.
