One of my favorites of ‘our’ undergrads was unloading her kiln this morning while I was in the glaze room breaking things (things that had already broken themselves), and I ran in all “wanna know the best part about ceramics??????” and because she knows me she’s like “breaking shit?” and I yelled “BREAKING SHIT!!!!!” and [...]

I have been posting a lot lately, and it has really clued me in to just how obsessive I actually am (I really don’t think about it that much) about my work.
It’s all these glaze kilns I’ve been firing! I am completely in love. I am comparing it to my friend Todd, who recently [...]

I got here with this insane amount of fire in my belly, fueled largely by the notion that I couldn’t stand behind any of my work yet because it [...]

Pop music as performance art:
It took me a little bit to learn to love it, but that was mainly my prejudice against Gaga. It’s got everything I need, really. About 25 of those 1.7 million views are mine….
And the results of my latest glaze kiln:
I’m so glad it fell over. Everything I’m making is [...]
I am only posting this because it was pre-written for a public art grant proposal and because it’s the first time ever that I feel like I’ve accurately described what I’m doing. Does anyone remember my musing about having a show at East Towne Mall? Well, this is what it mutated into. I hope I [...]

..for research papers. I am destined to write things entitled “_______ and the American ______” for the rest of my life, I think: ‘Miley Cyrus and the American Dream’ is my next one, as of today’s new media/visual culture seminar.
My pitch – “I basically want to deconstruct that one video she’s got..”
I’m interested [...]
