100 cups
A simple progression
A natural unfolding
A trust in time.
Each one
The new one
In each one
The last one
From each one
The natural next.
I throw and trim
I sit and look
I lift my knife
and join.
I lift my life
and join.
-Julia Livingston
This is all about process!! My desire to remind myself and others to pay attention to and explore the concept of process through the observation of the changes that occur over time in the making of 100 cups. It is a culmination of 37 years working in clay and a continuing expression of my love of the organic beauty in Art Nouveau. The blog is also a new collaboration with my son, Amory. The blog itself is a process..the exhibition of 100 Cups will be a process..and on and on.....
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.
