Clay Sketches
These are quick clay sketches that I do in the morning before I start my day. I pour myself a cup of tea, grab a handful of very wet clay and it's playtime. When my tea gets cold, it's time to stop and go get breakfast. I think of these as my Tea Sketches.
I begin with no direction in mind, just squishing and mushing the clay around to see what it will turn into. It's a bit like lying in the grass and gazing into a sky full of puffy clouds and imagining what creatures you see. I use just my fingers and a couple simple tools and let my mind pull forth what it can without reference. Whether the sketch turns into a sleeping satyr, charging bull or bacchanalian feast, it's always a surprise.
Although it's not the initial intention, invariably some of these will become the seeds for future sculptures.
