Day 20

Does anyone else remember when one of Yayoi Kusama’s pumpkins was swept into the sea during a typhoon?

It felt like such a metaphor to me for the last (now) decade. Oh to be a storm & sea tossed pumpkin! I had a postcard of that exact pumpkin, and knew what I had to do.

May the seas & typhoons be gentle with you, pump-kin.

Mixed media art, a postcard with a photograph of a yellow pumpkin sculpture with many radially symmetrical black spots is painted with inks and iridescent watercolors to make it caught in the tides of a vibrant, reflective seascape. The sea is bright saturated blues in various inky shades with textural properties — fluffy feeling steel grey silver sea foam, purple and magenta current reflections, metallic blue bubbly dots, etc. the angle from which the piece is viewed and the light hits it reveals new beauty in the tumultuous sea.

The postcard before modifications, a vertical white postcard with a square image of the sculpture on the edge of a pier overlooking the sea. On the right partially visible is a tray of iridescent watercolors.

WIP showing laptop playing a video of the pumpkin in the sea for reference of the motion and the piece taped to my desk

The piece with indirect light is mostly vibrant blues and silver greys against the gold and black pumpkin, the many other colors and contrasts come out in the light. I’ve since often taken up adding at least some contrast that’s visible all the time regardless of lighting conditions, but for this piece I think it metaphorically works.

Day 21 - matcha bowl

I’ve only dabbled in ceramics but I’m thankful for the time I got to spend with it.

I hope to be able to return when I’m healthier enough to have a craft which involves time & clean up a bit more strictly.

#ceramics #tea #matcha

A low clay bowl which is a wide cylinder-ish shape held in a white person and wearing a compression glove with grippy dots. The base glaze is a light mossy lime, and green, which has a bamboo like texture pressed into the light clay. Above that is a dip glaze which fades from brown to cyan, kind of resembling seafoam in texture, especially at the cyan, where it is somewhat bubbly, and has lots of particulate dots. At the top of the cup, you can see the green through the glaze. The cyan is opaque. In the background is a Monstera plant.

A slightly higher angle, and the cup is rotated. Looking into the cup, we can see that the interior is a warmer brown, which is almost a little rusty red brown The glaze that goes from brown to cyan is dipped slightly on the interior, making a small rim high up in the interior with a thin cyan ring close to the top. On the side, we can see some imperfections in the depth of the top layer of the glaze over the green on the outside, it is a beginners piece.

Closer up view of the second coinage showing details in the glazes which are reflective and glassy on the outside. The inside glaze is more matte and has speckles of dark.
