The first three pictures are from this week/last week's class. I made six forms to try and get it right. Each one was more polished and considered. I was really happy during the class discussion because the pieces evoked some of the emotional and physical responses I wanted: yearning, desperation, sadness, and resonating in the shoulders and back. My focus this week is the question is it one or two? I'm continuing to work in clay and exploring what happens when I depict each figure separately instead of the collision of the two, and see what happens. I think continuing to make something, anything, is helpful because each form takes on a life of its own. As Jana said, it's a cathartic process in itself, just making. We'll see where this goes.
