I have been trying to organize things in the studio many times attempting to sort out tools, narrow the path, and make the process simple, then to stick a label to the process and become a professional…
It never happened. I am always in-between things, stepping in the unknown, and building bridges and parallels.
The studio is getting transformed from one project to another like a living organism.
Regardless of the fact that skills and processes are different they support each other. The metalworking provides tools for the ceramics, the ceramics supply props and insulation for metal casting and any high temperature work. Old skills and techniques are getting along with new materials and approaches.
So, I decided to keep that natural flow going, and instead of calling it science I call it – alchemy
