  3. Off topic. Yes, i have a x20 digital zoom on Sony DSC H10 camera.But i always try hard to get as close as posible to birds with slow movements and camouflage.Sometimes I am lucky, also.

  4. Always thought I should have been a potter as I think it would have been easier to sell a bowl then a "Post-modernist, neo-figurative painting with reductionist tendencies" :)

  5. Beeeaautiful work, Lorena - makes you want to hold each bowl. I'd love to use ceramics like these in my kitchen but have broken at least four old teacups during the past few years. Dilemma: should lovely ceramics be used knowing they could break?!

  6. Hi M.S. You know I have often thought about your question about lovely ceramics and breakage. Part of what the Japanese consider mujo- impermanence, the fleeting nature of things. Personally I collect the mugs of other artists, holding them is like communing with the makers spirit and life experience. Some of my favorites have broken after much use but then I have the opportunity to purchase and commune through use with another art work and it's makers spirit. I guess it's a variation on paying for a good meal only it lasts much longer. We have to eat our food out of something,and plastic just doesn't cut it for me and paper is even more impermanent. Interesting topic to ponder. I suppose the ceramic work could also be kept as object d'art. I have pondered the usefulness and value of "non functional" artworks,to have something uplifting that inspires, made by a human hand is much more of a good value than say anti-depressents, in my book, so I see usefulness there too. Thanks for the visit and the question
