This is my journal documenting an ongoing creative endeavor sustained by a single underlying current with 100 momentary breaks, each indicated by an individual porcelain cup which reveals both continuity and uniqueness in the way the pot is thrown, the handle is pulled and wrapped,
and the form is carved and sculpted. Each piece is photographed in its raw
porcelain clay state before being fired or glazed. If you would like to follow the progression from Cup #1, scroll down and click "Older Posts" or begin at the Blog Archive "2010", "March".

The 100 Cups collection is available for exhibition.

Julia, I'm admiring your beautiful cups while drinking a warm chamomile tea from the grey cup that you gave me. I'm thinking that a constant so far in your 56 cups is that very slowly the handles are connected to the bases. In cup #56 the handle stems from the base....Is that an allegory for how we should handle and live our lives? :-) Marinés
ReplyDeleteYes,Yes....I think YES!!
ReplyDeleteI've been noticing and reflecting on the gradual shift in the relationship of the handle to the cup and the meaning in this. Thanks for giving words to it Marines.
