technical note:

戰爭之云,何時會結束。讓我們結束戰爭吧,我們見個面吧

think 思考的重點

今天重新看了soda, clay, fire
想到前男的創作路線,是用有機幾何的組合,創作出X的形態
我再想
我應該修正我的創作,直接去思考,放在柴燒環境裡面,怎麼樣可以作出最大限的作品。因為壓力,溫度,黑煙,落灰。

也包括製作的體力,耐心,運送,保存,跟不知道什麼時候才會拿去燒,有沒有錢燒?土夠不夠

think 價值觀

暑假快結束了,今年好好的上了課,現在在期待結果。
想記一下的是,
想到前男跟我完全不同的價值觀。可能在日本吧,很重視所謂的專職,所以一個專職陶藝家,就是不斷參加競賽,駐村,賣作品,包括雕塑和生活器皿。
可是我大概在2004前後,因為過了一段自給自足的生活,加上我相信藝術是life style 的表現,所以這陣子越來越多的前男帶給我的衝突和矛盾,讓我很難過。我覺的作作品就是照自己的生活步調去做,加上氣喘,不得不讓我每週至少休息一兩天,然後晚飯後盡量不去碰。
或許,我就是不努力。

idea 柴燒在現代雕塑上的表現

最近在想 柴燒在現代雕塑上的表現
這次試驗云系列 結果還好
沒有刻意去擋灰和製作火痕

全部沒灰其實是我比較想要的 土色

試過灰色哈密瓜紋和灰色亮面兩種

The cloud project



云是快速的云  仙女下凡菩薩救世孫悟空的觔斗云
云世代來訊息的云
是雷神閃電神 是暴亂的雷雨之云 是台風之云
是可以遮蔽陽光的烏雲
也是帶來希望的彩霞和晨光

review: client relationship

Most of my works are made for commission, although not for strong tided-up contracts.

I have learned a lot and got special knowledge from them, on Bonsai knowledge and their business skill. Each of them have different requirement and aesthetics. The most unhappy thing tho is their paid too little and even like to cut the payment, and I have no way to resolve this problems. I have try 'cost down' and do in a quick manner to reduce the labour I input, but it just not works. 

Except the commission from Bonsai dealers, I also have some commissions from tea shop and one antique shop friend for tea wares. Same from above, upon the discussion with them, I can learn new knowledge and business skill. Sometimes feedbacks from their customers will pass to me as well, so I can know exactly what people think when use my work on a daily base.

I hope I can have more reasonable payment from them, but I need to keep up with the quantity and 'cost down', that is difficult for me.

The finance of my work: the cost for wood firing and other firing in sum would be covered from the commission. For example, if I fire 20 pieces, I will sell 10 for the commission. It just generates about the amount for the total cost of firing. The other 10 pieces are reserved for myself. This would be seen as my own 'salary'.

review 上半年檢討

上半年檢討

1. 賣花盆,算是很努力了,2015.01-06
可是覺得命題不對,柴燒+花盆,加上被殺價,不是很想作,結果越做越差 ><

2. 除了花盆,只有心華來找我有賣出,其他東西基本沒売
3. 燒窯多很多次,多謝柚子和曾老師,江,應該要對他們好一點。花費因為跟賣花盆有打平,所以好像沒有特別覺的花到錢燒窯,最多是亞太2000那次後來1500 。反而原本社大這邊沒燒什麼大碗650。

4. 不知道為什麼到陶博館柴燒那邊會是亞太,就會有情緒。

5. 因為沒有生產細項,有一點慘,下次是十月柴燒,柚子那邊不知道會不會有。

6. 答應solo的小杯子單子沒作。

7. 答應自己要作創作,有作,燒的量不多。而且也是一直拖單子。

8. 答應自己有去上雕塑課,考慮的烤研究所,應該不會去烤吧?
9. 新釉,銅紅釉

statement: 
technical note:
gas kiln fire 1300c RF, no glazed, rice husk ash mixed clay, apply pastry methods

A second attempt to experiment the making and non-making of non-form/style. Here apply the techniques of pastry making (ex. mix butter and flour to make croissant) , multi-layers, cutting, and sculpting. Those pieces are from a commission of miniature bonsai pots. The client wants some pots of imitating rock to plant his miniature trees.
