Here is a few photos of what I decided to start with. I am continuing my idea of piecing ceramic tiles together in a quilt like pattern. The tiles will come together as one with an image of an ink blot of Abraham Lincoln and JFK. I choose the two because they are defining men of our past. Below are a few ink blots I created simply by using a cell phone app and found images. I am currently tracing an image of Lincoln and creating the patterns.
I've talked to Kathy Sterngold and she is ordering me under glaze for the project and different clay than what the art department has. I initially wanted to make my own glazes, and I have not ruled the idea out. But I have changed the type of glaze I would be using.
I thought about how I would present these two ceramic pieces and I came up with an idea of mounting them on wood. But, I am still toying around with presentation.
I like to work on many projects at once so I will start coming up with concepts for a few paintings. I want to steer away from presidents and start thinking about other types of men from our past perhaps cow boys, astronauts, and open to any other ideas.
