Work in progress-drawings

Egypt

Iraq

These are contextual drawing for my Ruby's show.  I am having fun doing them. They seem so much easier than clay.
  I had a kiln melt down this week and I am traumatized.  Maybe I should become a mixed media artist?

New images of finished work-Cartograms

UAE

Syria

Yemen

These are the newest pieces fresh from the kiln.  I have several more in the works for my show at Ruby's in March. The clock is ticking!

Work in progress-Cartogram drawings

These are the simplified drawings that I riff off of when I go from 2-D to 3-D.  The translation has to be simplified and each one has elements of the others but I hope they are different and unique.  I am working on a large Yemen, as well as Iran and Iraq.  I hope I make the deadline!

Work in progress- Yemen

More cartograms.  This one is Yemen.  I am learning about firing things without feet. I decided to build a stand out of clay to fire it on. I don't want it to fall over like the UAE did!

Work in progress- Libya

Here it is almost finished.   I just need to fill in some of the connections and finish the open area at the bottom.  Yea!

This work in progress is feeling a bit out of control at the moment. Yipes!
