New Work, Work for Sale, Updates

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

New Work in Ceramics
I wanted to share some new work I created while teaching a ceramics handbuilding class this past semester at Loyola.  The working title for the installation is Beautiful Decay- Fungi.  All pieces are glazed stoneware. These are installed in my studio. I now need to find a place exhibit them. They can be installed easily with screws into any wall. They are the beginning of work I'll be exploring, which is purchasable installation art.  Since much of my previous work is destroyed as the installation comes down, and can usually only be installed by me, this represents an exciting additional direction for investigation. This new work can be bought and installed by the consumer, transferring some of the art making experience to the consumer.

Beautiful Decay- Fungi looks at the beautiful and transformative quality of death and decay and reminds us of the cycle of destruction and creation.

Work for Sale
After the success of my recent show at minidutch, I was inspired to sell some affordable work through Etsy.  Please check out my shop by clicking here.  I will be adding more work to it from time to time.  Hope you enjoy it.

Logo
Inspired by the sale of several pieces, I developed a logo to stamp my work with.  I feel that this logo references a craftsman tradition or the chop signature of a sumi painter.  Both really satisfy me.  This stamp will accompany new work as a signature.

Instruction
I've just ended the best semester of teaching so far.  Through an unexpected circumstance I was able to teach a ceramics Handbuilding class at Loyola in addition to the two sections of Sculpture I teach there, and the one section of Drawing I teach at Wright College.  I feel like I've really found the symbiosis of teaching and studio work and I am proud to present some great student work from these classes on my website here.

This winter break promises to be a productive and busy time in my studio and sending out portfolios.  I hope you have a Happy Holidays and a Great New Year!

Sincerely,

Renee Prisble Una
