The Potter’s Cast: Another chance to hear me ramble….

Recently I was contacted by Paul Blais who is starting a new podcast for potters. My first thought of course was yeah more stuff to listen to in the studio. Then he asked me to be one of the first three interviewees and I got nervous. I love podcasts, but being on them is, well, a bit frightening. I always second guess everything I say and hope that there is at least one trinket of wisdom I can impart.

Paul made it easy. He’s super fun to chat with and the podcast ended up being really relaxed like a cup of coffee between friends, as it should be.

I hope you can find some time to have a listen, either to my podcast or to the others that Paul has and will be producing. So exciting to add another podcast to the mix just for ceramics! Maybe our own reality tv show isn’t that far off after all : )

In these works I utilize the decorative tradition of Josiah
Wedgwood’s Jasperware line and alter it. The functional object here is not a teacup
or trinket box but rather iconic scientific instruments used frequently in
microbiology for researching microscopic bacterium, pathogens and other such
organisms. The images on these vessels are not of pretty, benign neoclassical
scenes, but rather of mutation-causing, death-spreading malign life forms such
as anthrax, Ebola, Yersinia pestis (Black Death), H5N1 and other such biohazards.
Unlike the gods and heroes depicted on Wedgwood’s Jasperware, these flasks
depict the life forms we should truly fear and respect, the ones that remind us
that the human animal is not as superior as we might hope.
