Eugene, thanks for reading Jim’s interview. He was great and gave very thoughtful answers. I’m glad to hear that you are using the interviews in your class. I’ll be posting more, I hope you can also use them as well.

This places everything in context – how important it is to get interviewed. It explains the reasoning behind the work, the mark of the artist, which in this case is rendering of another kind. It provides the reference and understanding of the sketchy marks – rooted in Abstract Expressionism. One often needs this information to appreciate the work that much more, the artists inspiration, reference and more importantly the intent. The creative parameters and vision. This is what sets the one creative person’s work apart from everyone else, even though they make work in the same field, ceramic process and or style. It is what makes their work unique and very necessary for peers, collectors and critics in the field.
Great read and valuable material for my students embarking on surface development exercises.

That was a thoroughly enjoyable conversation. Like many others, the morning ritual has become, grabbing a cuppa joe, and sitting down at the computer eager to read Jim’s morning blog.
Thanks Connie
